Here's our take.

Model View Presenter

Nice Pick

Developers should learn and use MVP when building applications that require a clear separation of concerns, especially in scenarios where the UI needs to be easily testable or when working on large-scale projects with complex user interactions

Pros

• It is particularly useful in Android development, desktop applications (e

Model-View-ViewModel

Developers should learn and use MVVM when building applications with complex user interfaces that require frequent updates, such as single-page applications (SPAs), desktop apps using WPF or Xamarin, and mobile apps, as it enhances code organization and reduces tight coupling between UI and business logic

Pros

• It is particularly beneficial in scenarios where automated testing of UI logic is needed, as the ViewModel can be tested independently of the View, and when using frameworks that support data-binding, like Angular, Vue
• Related to: data-binding, single-page-application

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

These tools serve different purposes. Model View Presenter is a methodology while Model-View-ViewModel is a concept. We picked Model View Presenter based on overall popularity, but your choice depends on what you're building.

The Bottom Line

Model View Presenter wins

Based on overall popularity. Model View Presenter is more widely used, but Model-View-ViewModel excels in its own space.
