Is WordPress MVC compliant?

Question

Some people consider WordPress blogging platform, some think of it as a CMS, some refer to WordPress as a development framework. Whichever it is, the question still remains. Is WordPress MVC compliant?

I've read the forums and somebody asked about MVC about three years ago. There were some positive answers and some negative ones. While nobody knows exactly what MVC is and everybody thinks of it in their own way, there's still a general concept that's present in all the discussions.

I have little experience with MVC frameworks and there doesn't seem to be anything about the framework itself. Most of the MVC is done by the programmer, am I right? Now, going back to WordPress, could we consider the core rewrite engine (WP_Rewrite) the controller? Queries & plugin logic as the model? And themes as the view? Or am I getting it all wrong?

Thanks ;)

No, Wordpress itself is not an architected in MVC, but it is possible to build very MVC oriented themes and plugins within the framework. To do this task there are several tools which can help.
