We wanted to use strong typed objecs in Umbraco with Dependency Injection, like this:

public ActionResult HomePage(HomePageModel model) {
    return View(model);
}

And not the default Umbraco way like this (route hijacking http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Mvc/custom-controllers):

public ActionResult HomePage(RenderModel model) {
    return View(model);
}

As a solution we build the W3S Umbraco Object Relation Mapper (in short uORM).

I'm curious what you people think of it! http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/w3s-umbraco-object-relation-mapper
