humm, huge discussion could be done about ME.
The real basic utility is to be able to call an entire controller as view partial. Top ten post, whatever it is.
Having an entire modules, with config, autoload, library, view, controller. Making some speed test about that and you will be surprise of the small impact ME have on speed.
And yes, you have to copy and past your stuff between application. the best example is having a totally modular auth module. Don't you mostly always need it ?
Also for the record, when you build LARGE website, you have bigger decision to take than go with module or not, go with a framework or not is already a question.
Also a forum design will have a huge impact on the googling robot indeed.
Also for people i'll give a look soon when stable ME will be in place to give a hand to write some documentation about "major usefull" method of this libs.
see ya all around.
