Tl;dr: yes. In practice, it depends, mostly on the size of your app. It's one of the cases in which TodoMVC is too small to make the framework shine properly.

Tl;dr: yes. In practice, it depends, mostly on the size of your app. It's one of the cases in which TodoMVC is too small to make the framework shine properly. You're going to love it especially when your app starts to get bigger (and the complexity of "real world" starts to creep in) and the small complexity of the abstraction that you added in the beginning pays off. This is because you have a framework to put the new stuff in, but it doesn't get in the way. This is the opposite of what I usually felt with the other js frameworks I worked with (Angular, Backbone, React doesn't count because not really a framework), in which once your application scales in size its complexity terribly increases.
