I've tried both Knockout and Backbone with Circle (https://circleci.com https://circleci.com), I can totally see the use case here. Knockout is great for syncing between the client and server, and does history and routing well. However, it's not great at model form synchronization. However, Knockout really excels at that, and allows you to do great live updates. In the end, we chose Knockout + Sammy.js (history and routing) + manual templating (pretty easy really).
