If it's obsolete, what should replace it?

  Here's one idea: http://cycle.js.org/model-view-intent.html http://cycle.js.org/model-view-intent.html

    It's not just about replacing the controller, which nobody understands or agrees on [1] -- it's about getting away from the idea that you can oversimplify user interface architecture down to a holy trinity of just three elemental concepts. You could just as well ask "If Earth, Wind and Fire [2] are obsolete, what replaces them?" There's more to modern chemistry than Earth, Wind and Electricity.

      With Cycle MVI can be just a guide for getting started. (More pejoratively, a crutch.) I regularly find the intent()-model() interface getting too verbose and boilerplatey so I just munge the two pure functions together into one. So far it's made sense to keep view() separate, however.
