I wouldn't dismiss it so blithely. I implemented a remote job runner UI here: http://intercoolerjs.org/examples/jobrunner.html http://intercoolerjs.org/examples/jobrunner.html You can get pretty far with it. It isn't a perfect fit for every app, but most apps have at least a few areas where using it would simplify things considerably. Also, there are a lot of nice things that are extremely easy to use that are a PITA with most other frameworks. For example, AJAX-aware history is an ic-push-url="true" away: http://intercoolerjs.org/examples/history.html http://intercoolerjs.org/examples/history.html I realize that most front end people who see this will immediately dismiss it as "simple", but it's a very rich library and can be used to accomplish an awful lot: you can fire client side events using custom HTTP headers, show and hide request indicators using only a CSS selector, etc.
