It mixes them because it's a small educational example, no one stops you from following MVC practices if you want. Most of the Red GUI examples I know of are "programming in the small", like CRUD interfaces, games, and various interactive environments. [1, 2] The graphical engine relies on OS widgets internally right now, which are resource-heavy and don't scale well (at least on Win32 backend each widget is just that, a window); in the future, more lightweight graphical objects (aka GOBs) will be introduced for use-cases like spreadsheets and data-intensive apps, there's already a PoC for that. [3] For evaluation and benchmarking, I recommend to check out 7GUIs project [4] and add Keera Hails entries to it; here [5] is Red implementation, for comparison. Some tasks in it directly address MVC separation of concerns. [1]: https://github.co

OS-X GUI is heavily being worked on. You can watch its progress here: https://github.com/qtxie/red/commits/GUI Also - the corresponding Trello board is here: https://trello.com/c/UgsrhiHf/143-macosx-gui-backend

The current 0.6.0 release contains only Windows GUI. Linux and OSX support are a work in progress. Lots of stuff implemented, lots still missing. You can download qtxie's branch with the WIP code here - https://github.com/qtxie/red/tree/MacOSX-GUI?files=1 Read the Readme file for instructions on how to compile red code using sources.
