Which is wrong.  3-part separation does not imply MVC.  MVC is one specific 3-part separation that is poorly suited to the web.  WebMVC/MVC2 is a stupidly named architecture more properly termed "Rails-style", since most of them are inspired by Ruby on Rails' misuse of the term "MVC".  I personally happen to think it is a fairly bad architecture, too, but that's more subjective. 

See the previously posted link for more details, and please stop calling Drupal something it is not.
