> for 95% of the use cases, you are better off sticking with jQuery or ... This is terrible advice. If you can't tell the difference between a procedural app full of jQuery callbacks and a an app modularized with Backbone objects, then I don't think you have had real experience writing apps with either of these libraries.

It depends. Are you doing single page apps? jQuery is awful advice. Are you doing internal 2007-style internal apps with only a small amount of interaction? I'd argue jQuery is a cost-effective way to get a project out. I haven't figured out how to get a team who is "barely" conversant in javascript productive in an MVC framework just yet, myself.
