On: ASP.NET MVC 3 Preview 1 - Razor View Engine

Why? In particular Dynamic view models? What is the benefit of adding this third way of expressing your view model objects?

[gokhan → traskjd]

Clearer syntax. No need to define another ViewModel object for each page. Ability to refactor. Getting rid of naming the param as text.

ViewModel["Something"] = "Other";

vs

ViewModel.Something = "Other";

The best use case for dynamic IMO.

[vyrotek → gokhan]

While I think this is a neat use of dynamic, I think I'm still going to stick with my strongly typed models.

More specifically, I really like the 'ViewModel' technique. I won't give up my Intellisense and Compile Time validation anytime soon.
