- MVVM is a widely used pattern for building maintainable and testable UIs but introduces complexity in state management and event-driven updates.
- MVUX is introduced as a modern, state-driven evolution of MVVM, focusing on declarative, immutable state and reactive updates.
- MVVM consists of Model, View, and ViewModel, promoting separation of concerns but suffers from boilerplate and state synchronization issues.
- MVUX simplifies UI development with centralized state, reducers, and effects, reducing boilerplate and improving predictability.
- MVUX is suited for applications with complex UI state, teams aiming to reduce code complexity, and developers familiar with functional paradigms.
- Despite its benefits, MVUX is seen by some as a reinvention of existing patterns like Redux, adapted for XAML-based applications.
- MVUX can be used in Windows App SDK and WinUI 3, with specific libraries required for implementation.
