alt Hacker NewsMVVM was invented by Microsoft for 2-way syncing in WPF. Today we know 2-way syncing is a mistake.
Who uses MVC in 2026? Pretty much every framework out there, including Java frameworks and Python frameworks and .net

You have any more sources on MVVM being a mistake?
I found WPF rather nice to work with. Same with knockout.js and Angular I don’t see much downsides.
Everyone can write bad code of course in each of them but I think it was working quite well.

I've heard many people assert that 2 way binding is a mistake, but I didn't think it was settled. It still seems simpler to me than so called uni-directional data flow.
