Thanks for taking the time to respond. From everything you've said, most of what cell.js does is implement yet another templating engine. I think you said as much in your reply: "Really at the end of the day all you need is a function that generates the Javascript object structure you need, which means you can map/filter/reduce anything from Model to View to Controller logic." The additional work it does is injecting member variables for each of the cell components (i.e. the "_" params). Am I missing something?
