I am going to be rewriting a few of my own extensions to use your method (and probably just make your plugin a requirement)
My current method requires stream wrappers and isn't fully compatible with all hosting providers, while yours is elegant and....let's face it - fantastic!

This extension saved my life... I could extend a 3p extension to suit my customer needs... no need to hack and compromise future upgrades... it was working perfect on Joomla 3.0.x for me... Thanks Julio
A very useful extension. I really hate it to change the component classes. Now I can use this extension to the rescue.
On the surface MVCoverrides is a great idea. It's obviously designed with fairly expert Joomla users in mind. The problem is that it breaks (and, I mean BREAKS) the administrator when Advanced Module Manager is also installed. AMM is a must have for many of us, so this conflict would meed to be removed before MVCoverrides is truely ready for primetime.
Perhaps the developer can try to overcome this deficiency?

I very often find myself overriding Joomla component and module Views to meet the needs of my clients. I usually try to avoid making edits to anything other than the view because it requires editing the core file.
I am so excited to have found this extension because now I can override the model and the controller and not worry about it.
Also the support I have received from Julio has been amazing. I first downloaded this extension to override a module, and contacted Julio for support as I couldn't get it working. As it turns out it was not yet a feature to override Modules, but he added it in based on my request and emailed me today to let me know it was ready.
GREAT EXTENSION!

This is an extremely powerful plugin that will allow you to extend your component output without compromising performance, upgradability or extendability!
No more hacking 3rd party extensions!
This should even be in core. Many thanks to the author!
