What's the advantage over strongly typed view models?

@Rik,

In essence, that you wouldn't need to declare it.

I'm not sure that having to declare a type is a major pain. Certainly not enough to lose static typing. Especially when R# will build your view model class on the fly with a few presses of alt-return, return. Doubly especially when there's no actual benefit, only drawbacks.

I don't understand why dynamic is used for such a thing. This has nothing to do with interaction with dynamic languages.

This looks nice and clean, but what about templates? Where would metadata go? How would you specify that stuff using dynamic?

Looks great. I think it's usable for scenario's where you have dynamic formcontent and using this to create a dynamic model could be very handy.
