It's freaking that there's a backbone.js section in it. Am I the only one on earth who doesn't like this library ?!

  What's not to like about it?

  You're certainly the only I have read who doesn't like it.

  If you'd like to explain what is it that you don't like about it? I've just introduced myself into it, and I'm really liking all about it. ALL.

    I feel backbone.js is a great base to build a custom mvc framework on top of it. However, for simple projects, I find it to be to heavyweight. I.e. it's really hard to have nested collections (You have to rebind all events). Views could give you a better hand for 90% of scenarios.. These are only 2 examples, but this is why I say it's more of a meta-framework. (I use backbone and patch it with lots of function, event binding, etc. and only then I can use it in my code). So, I think there's still a place for a smaller, more 90%/10% mvc framework.. and have backbone.js to fallback on in the 10%. In fact, this framework could be build on top of backbone :)
