I've used Knockout for two applications and it's great; MVVM is definitely more relevant for JS web applications than MVC in many, tho not all, cases.

MVC - MVVM : grudgingly, I agree. I did a bunch of Rails coding, so my MVC is the Rails MVC (not the real MVC). KnockoutJS basically ignores Models, so sets off my Spidey-sense, but...

I haven't done much GUI programming, so I'm not familiar with the classic definition of MVC. KnockoutJS's MVVM (really V-VM) is very clear and I love it.

KnockoutJS would benefit from the addition of Models (in order to make it a 'framework'), but I'm 90% more productive right now and am certain that KnockoutJS will evolve to include Models.

If you feel that way, you might like knockout-rails. https://github.com/dnagir/knockout-rails
