The reason for the existence of Extbase/Fluid in 4.3 is different than 
for other MVC frameworks; being a back port of FLOW3 Extbase allows you 
to build an extension that is for a large part forward compatible with 
TYPO3 version 5 (at least that is what we've been told ;-) ).

Moving to Extbase will mean that you can prepare your extension for T3v5 
(at least many extensions). I think that extensions which work closely 
together with core functionality (realURL, tagPack, TemplaVoila, 
indexed_search, etc.) will not profit a lot, if anything at all, from 
using extBase.
Extensions like tt_news on the other hand contain all the functionality 
inside themselves (as far as I know the source code of tt_news).

But we're now moving way off from the topic of this thread...

Regards, Jigal.
