title: Why doesn't backbone use module.exports?
body: <p>It looks like it uses just plain</p>
  
  <p><code>exports</code> instead of <code>module.exports</code></p>
  
  <p>in this line <a href="https://github.com/jashkenas/backbone/blob/master/backbone.js#L32" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (typeof exports !== 'undefined') {
      Backbone = exports;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However this <a href="http://openmymind.net/2012/2/3/Node-Require-and-Exports/" rel="nofollow">tutorial</a> shows the <code>module.exports</code> being used.</p>
