"a program is without value before it is used by an end user for something valuable"
Nice snippet of advice there. Also the rest of Trygve's original post is an excellent reminder (and in simple terms) of MVC as an idea, rather than MVC as a label to slap on the next bit of JS code you publish on github ... which is basically all the intro paragraph says.
I do believe that many nouvelle programmers in their rush to absorb and contribute to the art integrate too many things too quickly and try to fabricate the magic recipe they just learned about into a hammer they can pound on everything regardless of whether the particular problem is a nail or not.
It's interesting that MVC is mostly introduced to most people as part of a web based architecture. From my understanding of MVC, the view can be updated by the model, and view can update the model. Which makes sense in the context that you have multiple views into the model. This doesn't tend to happen with web based MVC.
