> To be honest, the real pattern is MVW (Model View Whatever). It's not a pattern if it's not clearly identifiable as a pattern, MVC (original) applied to GUI interfaces. ASP.net tried to apply MVC to the web and it resulted in Webforms, which is true MVC, ASP.net MVC ironically isn't true MVC. Like everything in IT MVC eventually became a buzzword thus lost all significance, that's why it doesn't really mean anything anymore since it doesn't describe anything specifically to most people who use the expression.
