The more I've played with Backbone the more I've appreciated it. It makes it incredibly easy to structure application in a really, really easy to read and maintain way. It's easy to dramatically cut down on duplicate code and eliminate callback spagetti in favour of clean event driven structures.
Having underscore.js in there as well also allows for much more expressive code than javascript usually allows and takes care of nasties like having to always check whether a property belongs to an object or its prototype when iterating over object literals.
Integration with jQuery is seamless and the scoped $ in views cuts down on selector redundancy nicely.
Thanks for the awesome library!
