I really liked Mithril, I would recommend checking it out. It definitely is kind of weird to write out your HTML with javascript, but it gets easier as you go along. The performance is ridiculous as well and it was a lot easier to troubleshoot as well. Also, the code kind of aligns with a JSON structure, so if you have a lot of control with the server response, it's really simple to grok how to structure your front end code.
