The thing I've enjoyed most about Backbone, is that it's given me a sane conceptual point for learning browser APIs, and libs. Using Backbone in no way obviates the need to learn about how browsers work in the end, but it does make it a hell of a lot less painful for you to engage in that process. also +1 for literate code as a mechanism for learning more about what Backbone's responsibilities and defaults are.
