You're kidding!
By separating view from controller you get to have a variety of
controller classes to do different things with the visual presentation.
At the most trivial level this allows you to have read-only and
read-write widgets for the same model without the model having to worry
about it. You can have controllers that interact via mouse type inputs
or key type inputs, or both or neither. You can have controllers that
read interactions from a stream and auto-demonstrate an application.
