We ve started using this after I could not spin my head around all those spaghetti jQuery based functions we have been using as an excuse to make dynamic web apps. If u are using a lot of front end JS but dont want to migrate to a full blown framework (sproutcore, cappuccino etc.), Backbone.js is a great choice. Word of caution though, it can get a little frustrating to start with (especially event binding) but once over that first bump, this just makes your code so much more readable and maintainable.
