Recommendation...Modular Extensions or Matchbox?

[eluser]lancemonotone[/eluser]
Thanks for the replies and sorry if I misposted. I thought this forum was not only for code submissions but for questions about those submissions. I will say that there could be a much better code repository. I used to dabble with Joomla; their Joomla Extensions library is really easy to get around and it allows for user ratings. (I know...this should be in another topic.)

[quote author="wiredesignz" date="1204738480"]Yes I agree on that point, Matchbox is most like CI in the way you code, so it would be a good starting point to learn modular techniques.[/quote]

Wiredesignz, what is the difference between your ME and Matchbox? Do they aim for the same goal but go about it differently, or is there a fundamental difference in philosophy and/or functionality?

[quote author="thepyromaniac"]you can just drop things like FAL right into it[/quote]

What is FAL?
