There used to be a comparison chart on flow3.typo3.org that compares FLOW3 to some frameworks. I
didn't find it today. Anyway, the chart was IMHO too much about certain technical features. What is
much more interesting is a comparison in a way that you did now.

PS: I'm wondering if it is possible (and makes sense) to use a different persistence method with
FLOW3/Extbase then the domain object repository. The repository is great, but I'm not sure if it is
the best solution for *all* problems.
