On: MVC frameworks aren't dinosaurs but sharks

[RunawayGalaxy]

Is the argument that because it's a shark, we should accept that and avoid feeding any contenders?

Was the shark perfect at its inception or did it adapt as all things do?

Doesn't its shark-ness come by virtue of surviving against the best efforts of challengers through time?

Isn't that continual evolution at least in part dependent on a continuum of challengers?

Don't we implicitly give up on searching for something that could potentially overtake the shark by dogmatically accepting the shark's shark-ness?

Go for it, but also admit you’re trying to out-compete a shark.

The bar for success in that case is pretty high, and the challenge significant.
