"MVC frameworks are, today, a bit out of fashion. The point is not to extoll their virtues, but to analyze their success; for over a decade, they shaped how people thought about an entire category of software. As designers, we should aspire to do the same."
I'm fuzzy on what "do the same" is really supposed to mean here. At the high end, are you encouraging me to build a framework that becomes globally well known for decades? At the low end, are you encouraging me to influence how my coworkers think when they read my code?
