    ( did not downvote) Well, it's been a buzzword going on 40+ years now if it is. Commented May 8, 2015 at 19:29

    I would encourage you to put some additional research into the origins of the MVC pattern and the additional patterns that it spawned such as MVP and MVVM. There's a lot more history to the pattern than the current buzzwordiness would lead you to believe. Commented May 8, 2015 at 19:29

    From Model View Controller History: "MVC was invented at Xerox Parc in the 70's, apparently by Trygve Reenskaug. I believe its first public appearance was in Smalltalk-80. For a long time there was virtually no public information about MVC, even in Smalltalk-80 documentation. The first significant paper published on MVC was "A Cookbook for Using the Model-View-Controller User Interface Paradigm in Smalltalk -80", by Glenn Krasner and Stephen Pope, published in the August/September 1988 issue of the JournalOfObjectOrientedProgramming (JOOP)."
