Trying to get a better understanding of model builder and model builder modes, i.e why /when should i use one over the other.
I have always used the default PureLive mode, so far i cant see why i would use one of the other modes i.e DLL.
If i require a surface controller, i would create the controller and model as documented in Umbraco docs. Same would go for a custom controllers, i would create controllers and models as required.
There is no need to for me to change model builder mode.
Could someone advise or give a scenario where/when i would benefit form making use of builder modes DLL, AppData or API ?
To get the cs files and intellisense this does have the draw back of not including the files in the project like API mode does though. So we are probably going to switch.

I know a lot of people use the API mode. Which gives you the .cs files and Intellisense.
We are currently using LiveAppData and
