Well articulated. If you'll forgive some shameless self-promotion, Ractive (http://ractivejs.org http://ractivejs.org) was born of the same philosophy - programmers shouldn't have to bend their code to the will of a framework, nor should they have to learn a dozen new concepts in order to be productive. It's an alternative to Knockout or React.
