I didn't want to imply that I want MVC. Realy not. I havn't used MVC
for years. What I think is very important: If a replacement for some
part of a system
is developed, it's important to bring it so far to be good enough to
realy replace the old stuff. Having MVC makes lots of stuf overly
complex, e.g. supporting
both in all tools makes no sense.
But I guess much of that is personal taste. Some people can only work
with a clean desk (e.g. me) while others need to have a complete chaos
all around to be creative.
