To me, out-of-the-box JavaFX is more like this Forms and Controls architecture rather than MVC. When I worked with MVC and Struts, Spring, CakePHP, and JSF, there was the concept of centralized controllers that pulled from the model and forward to a view or received submissions form a view and pushed to the model. I don't see that type of controller with JavaFX. The Controller is completely tied to the View, so it's like you say: Model added to View.
