Sorry to go full "get off my lawn" here, but: How is this different from, say, simple GDI rendering or Swing? With both View is a function of state and rendering is done via idempotent function calls (WM_PAINT bzw. paint()/paintComponent()). This is the real traditional method. (BTW: The comparison to MVC doesn't really make sense, unless you add flux/redux/etc. to the equation.)
