EGL can be used to implement an MVP style architectue.
But then you have a completely different story than in the Demo room.
And why choose EGL then (because this is one of the "unique" selling
points).

Have you actually tried the new open source EGL? The WYSIWYG editor creates widgets with varying degrees of MVC depending on your architectural approach. Simple widgets with no intelligence for applications with less future proofing required (say your typical user ID prompt screen), widgets with MVC capabilities that will intelligently bind to data, and full form-level MVC where the application talks only to a form and the form can be adjusted as the application data changes.

EGL has perhaps the most complete MVC implementation of any 4GL out there. And it's all still part of the demo. :)
