if you are referring to Microsoft's MVC.Net I love it.
It took a while for me to switch from webforms, the design pattern and extras (like routing, minifying, jquery, etc..) that get included in the starter template could be overwhelming but once I got the gist of it I never wanted to go back to webforms
It plays very nice in my mind with Xamarin, as the structure and design of an app and a webapp seem very familiar and correlate to each other

I enjoy working using MVC for my projects.
What I do not like is all of the overhead of the templates, so I will stick to developing as a SOC project that may vary within as the needs and refinements are built. One page could be MVC and another could be MVVM. Heck, my last MVC CMS actually utilizes a straight ASPX page complete with code-behind.

I have used MVC for straightforward projects but I have to say that it can become too complicated for some applications. In these cases a good mix of javascript and json does the job a lot better than MVC or some of the other frameworks (Xamarin. I'm thinking about you...)
I'm a great believer in the KISS principle.
We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

In my world... adding in javascript and JSON would be ok, it's part of the view and could be populated with another controller+action

It's such a pathetic experience trying to export the mail dumps from server to a local .pst file.
By default , Outlook shows you just few files or no files, if the mails are old. It just downloads the header and shows you. Its not exactly downloading to local cache
Now I follow their doc and do export the mails, A folder of 2GB in server, finishes export to PST with 800MB. It worked just for a folder.
There's no way to force Outlook to download all the files to local cache 
The UI is just frustrating.
Adding to this, the normal export-pst wizard ends with an "Unknown erro". I'm creating a dummy pst and then manually moving from server folder to this.
When I just drag & drop the entire folder, nothing gets copied but the empty folder structure.
I'm getting into each sub-folder, click on "Show more files" then it downloads the header and shows me the mails list. Then I select-all and copy the items to the dummy pst file created.
Any better way to do this?

are you using the desktop client of Outlook or is this the online client?
I wold try using the desktop client to do this. If that does not work, then I have no other suggestions. I very rarely need to do what you are doing. Actually, haven't needed to do this for many years.
good luck.
Edit: forgot to mention, that no one can get that Lotus award. That is only for a special kind of madness. Outlook is no where near as bad as Lotus was/is.

A little late to the party, but this worked for me:

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

My default is set to "sod off" anyway, so as expected my MS stored history was empty.

I particularly like the way the "activity history" dashboard lies to you. Click "clear" on every activity until it comes back with the "no data" message. Reload the page. A load more data appears.
It's just done that to me four times in a row.
And it's nothing to do with "full" telemetry - mine's set to "basic".

That's why I run windows 7.
The day I will be forced to use Windows 10 I will put a nice firewall between my router and my network.

Exactly. You can either let ms handle your security, or you can do it properly.

I use my home PC mostly for editing of photos, video, 3D modelling, sound and text, as well as maintain my private economy and a number of other tabular data (such as an inventory for my home insurance) using spreadsheets. All of this is really "offline" activity. I need an internet connection only when reading web newspapers and for looking up API documentation when I do some programming needed for my home activities.
I discovered a while ago that every time I start the text editor, a report is sent to some bookeeping website (the editor is bought at a one-time price, no sort of subscription). So I have made it a habit to keep the network card turne off until I need to open the Internet: It takes a right click on the icon on my desktop to open the network, another one to close it once I have retrieved the information I need, or e.g. sent the email.
When I turn on the network, quite frequently some announcer pops up telling me about new versions of this and that, that I might want to download. Before I made it a habit to switch off the network, these were so annoying that I often disabled the service doing the checking. Now that they come more or less when I ask for them, not in the middle of my work, it is far more acceptable, and I consider them, rather than bitching at them.
In principle, all my offline activity could be monitored by a demon writing all my activity to a log, transferring the entire log as soon as the network becomes available. But no matter how long I am offline, I have not been able to spot any suspicious network traffic when I open the network.
I am still on Windows 7 - switching to Windows 10 is on the schedule for the Christmas vacation. I hope there is nothing in Windows 10 making it more difficult to switch off the network when I am not actively using it.

u need to turn off the calling home function of many application software these days ...or have a firewall.. with windows 10 just run a test and you can see packets going to various ips on a new install also with things turned off.. some telemetry on hardware gets shipped out..
