View layers can get complex, but you can at the very least encapsulate complexity and have it interact with other parts of the system in a simple well defined way. Have the separate layers of the application communicate via interfaces that keep the ingress, egress points of data flow well defined. Things like event pub/sub systems can further decouple things, the observer pattern, etc.

Maybe a retain-mode approach is just inherently (too?) complex? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think your answer is in reference to using such a library, and I can certainly see how my question implied that, so sorry for the confu…
