You beat me to that one ;-)

But I beg to differ on the DB, UI and Logic "abstractions". While
appropriate in some cases, the Model, View and Controller abstractions
are on a higher level and continue to work even when your application
does not need/use a database, e.g. Point or Currency, needs to present
information without any user interaction, e.g. text/plain, HTML or PDF,
and where inputs are not associated with any logic besides updating a
View of a changed Model instance.

Hope this helps,
