Frankly, I think anyone who picks a side is wrong.
Say I've got Person.h/m. Guess what? Pretty accessor-heavy. Persons are
objects - they're models of real-world people (at least in this example).
But the controller? Pretty functionality-heavy. Because it controls the flow
and functionality of the program.
In other words, accessor-heavy classes are fine. In fact, I'd argue that
that's what most of the model classes should be (and when I say model I mean
MVC model, not "ideal" model).
