Last time I worked with Backbone I recall there being a schism in the community regarding the use of JQuery under the hood. The author was presented with performance metrics comparing Backbone to a vanilla JS fork which had made substantial improvements to rendering performance. That might've represented a major turning point in the evolution of the framework, but perhaps one of the reasons it stagnated was little to none of that criticism was taken onboard?
- krebby 11y agoI'm not sure what you mean by that last part. We removed the jQuery dependency in View [0] and History [1], and I wrote a small shiim to allow Backbone Views to work with vanilla JS [2]. No schism, just not a huge paradigm shift either (which is a good thing).
