I fully agree here - MVC scales terribly. Of course, it's not impossible to come up with a well designed MVC app at scale, but it takes a ton of skill and feels like you are fighting the framework at most steps. One particular challenge is lack of modular components and component nesting. For example, if you have a list view, it's very natural to have one component define the list, and child components define each entry in the list. Something like React makes this trivial. On iOS on the other hand, you are encouraged to use a UITableViewController with UIViews for each cell. This immediately pushes you towards one mega-controller which mixes the responsibilities of the list with those of the individual cells. To overcome this, you could try to have a UIViewController for each cell (uncommon), or have the UIView of each cell start tak

ing on more responsibilities of a UIViewController (breaking MVC). In general though, iOS's MVC is a perfect storm of being both bare bones as well as opinionated at the same time. For these reasons many large corporations have moved away from MVC to their own custom in-house architectures to handle scale.
