I was updating the wikipedia's drupal page with pressflow distribution yesterday, there i observed that drupal is build using MVC design pattern [1]. But i remember my mentor telling me that drupal is NOT based on MVC. Is it changed in the recent version or the person who updated the wiki page has misunderstood the concept. Please enlighten me.

In the very dumb way most people understand MVC, yes Drupal is MVC, because there is a separation between the presentation and content. But no, that's not strictly speaking MVC. Strict MVC doesn't exist for web application, because a big part of the view and the controller is actually handled by the browser. Damien Tournoud
