The MVC pattern has a relation between model and view since the model informs the view of any changes to the data. The MVP/MVVM pattern is the way to go since the model is completely hidden for the view by the presenter part. I wonder from what kind of people you hear the quote "maybe we should modernize our architecture and use a MVC design pattern, that is cool!" ?

Even Silverlight 5 (which is not even released) is not even close to be as good as WPF. Of course the SL developers think so, but SL still needs lots, lots and lots of work. Next, why would I want to develop something in javascript? There are lots of downsides of developing javascript, and there is no real decent javascript IDE. Unless there will be a C# to html 5 converter, I don't think html 5 will make WPF go away (what do we use for desktop apps?). You don’t really believe this, right?

If you're talking about UML then I agree. But UML is not the only model-driven code generation method around. If fact, UML is not adequate for fine-grained code generation, but more for architecture. With an abstraction-level-free method, you can model you application's architecture and also if a string must have a length between 5 and 10! See ABSE (http:www.abse.info): The 'Atom' is ABSE's meta-metamodel, allowing you to develop your templates in an abstraction-free context.
