Question: I also like a minimally structured app. I've experimented with Backbone.js. Have you tried it? Did you decide to go with msngr.js after using Backbone? I feel like I spend a lot of time trying frameworks, only to find very little benefit. Happy to learn more, but would love to have some basis of comparison to some tech I've worked with to date.

Backbone looks interesting and I've worked on projects that used it but honestly I've never really taken a hard look at it nor had to make huge changes with it to really have a good opinion one way or another on it. I mostly started writing and using msngr.js because I love messaging and I didn't see anything that did exactly what I wanted to do (and even if I had found something I still may have written it anyway as I've learned quite a bit in doing so).
