Backbone has made me a better programmer
I didn't really like backbone at all. It was a pain. It didn't offer anything to help you build complex UI.<p>I had to use backbone to build a mildly complicated UI - not so complex, mind you, just something that's supposed to be somewhat interactive.<p>Backbone was no help at all. Its "views" don't really offer anything.<p>Just about 2 weeks ago I discovered knockout.js, and I felt stupid for spending days building something that would probably take an afternoon to do with knockout.js.<p>Then, a week later I discovered angular.js and felt even more stupid.<p>Now I <i>really</i> dislike backbone.js
