I think this fits some use-cases very nicely, where there's not enough incentive to use a proper framework like Django, also not enough incentive to mix a framework and WordPress in a CMS+app setup (e.g. http://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/blog/2010/nov/24/argo-network/ http://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/blog/2010/nov/24/a...), but on the other hand where doing everything as plain WP plugins would be a grueling experience. Yes, I can see myself actually enjoying this.
Of course, it'd be better if WordPress, the kick-ass blogging platform that it is, would just be a framework or be built on one, so the Tribune wouldn't have had to do this, but when stuff like WordPress and Drupal got started, (1) nobody had ever heard of MVC in PHP and (2) the OO was crap. So it's hard to blame Matt.
