When I hear the Faceboo-React people talk about "MVC", it seems like their experience of the term is from Native-UI frameworks, especially those with active Views that call themselves "MVC".
Then we have "Javascript MVC" frameworks like Angular, which have "bindings" and this makes them MVC.
Then I think about the Server-side web programmers (i.e. Rails) which are also "MVC" that render the whole response for a request.. the view is often just a template. This is also "MVC".
Basically the term has completely lost it's meaning at this point.. It's simply a pejorative term now, because we don't take the time to name/reveal the particular things we don't like about certain frameworks, we just call them MVC.
- adrtessier 11y agoI agree. I think "MVC" has been abused to the point of where it means "the insides of this don't look like a PHP app from 2007, where it's function soup."
- Zigurd 11y agoMeh. If there is a doubt, call it "Observer pattern" instead. But I understand where you are coming from. Most mobile apps with a RESTful back-end don't even implement an end-to-end observer pattern properly.
