Thanks! And I agree. I have Backbone code from quite a while ago and it's still holding strong today. The thing with Backbone, as opposed to some more convention-orientated frameworks like Ember, is that it's as good as the programmer. And if you are an experienced Backbone developer, that can be _damn_ good.
If Backbone had any weakness, it was managing subview chaos at large scale. React does a great job solving that - and introduces other opportunities for better patterns. Thinking in terms of reusable components, and maybe even using those components on the server side as well, is pretty exciting.
