I wasn't commenting on Backbone itself, I was commenting on getting started with Backbone. I've held 15+ workshops and presentations on Backbone and helped a lot of people getting started. These are the issues I have most often heard from them.

my point is that these questions seem either misdirected or simply answered. that is to say, it's not a framework. it's a set of classes. how you handle templates, how these classes fit together, etc is hardly a function of Backbone.

don't get me wrong. i've been there. i've had the same questions. but i think the answers i gave would have satisfied me when i was starting, had i had a mentor.
