Sure, I guess if you fundamentally misunderstand MVC but not in the real world.

You don't have render your view on the server, using a js framework is perfectly fine in MVC. There are plenty of rails plugins to make this even easier and I whole-heartedly disagree with, "Rails-style MVC frameworks have a horrible routing solution for RESTFul JSON APIs". Rails has simple routing that works great for restful resources and auto renders json that can be easily overridden.

Having a unified/standardized REST interface for web services would no doubt be nice, but it's existence has little to nothing to do with MVC.
