Yep. 'Leaving things to chance' is a good way to put it. Thanks, I'm aware of Marionette and have also used Backbone.LayoutManager [1] before which solves some of the same issues, though I am wary of the cobbled-together stack I might end-up with if I pick Backbone + Marionette + Some-Better-Router + ... That's certainly why Ember appeals, especially now they're beginning to nail the docs and there are great resources emerging like the recent Peepcode episode [2], which I'm going to have a watch a few more times through. Very interesting work with Sails, as someone who's written (much more basic) REST scaffolding scripts before I'm especially intrigued by that angle. I'll be digging into it for sure.
