I see ember and angular on hn today...are the backbone evangelists on summer vacation?

  Ember and Angular are new now. Backbone was new two years ago. I'm guessing that's why.

    Using Backbone is like being left in a desert and told to go home.

  Backbone is a library, not a full-fledged framework like Ember and Angular. I could see Ember and Angular being implemented with Backbone. Backbone isn't opinionated and makes no design decisions for you. It's also very low-level (no two-way binding). Not really fair to compare them, they cover very different use cases.

    I've been saying this for 2 years.. Backbone is a MVC meta-framework!
