    That's a great point. It's been on my todo list for a while now to remove the JQuery dependency from Backbone UI, since we're now only using it mainly for event handling and positioning. JQuery was an obvious choice when this project was bo

    Have a closer look - this library was built solely for generating UI from JavaScript.

    No, this is not by the same people as Backbone. The name refers to the fact that all components are Backbone Views.

    Thanks for sharing your viewpoint. I realize that templates are a popular choice for many, but I view them as an unneccesary layer of indirection. Sort of like printing out an email, hand writing a response, and scanning it back in as a re

    Thanks for sharing. JavaScript has come a long way, even from 2006, yet most developers still have the mindset that this sort of thing can't perform well. What we're left with are solutions that are more complex, and perform similarly for

    Thanks for the tip, but I've had much success using this method on teams of 5+ developers and a full-time designer.

    While I agree the $.el prefix is annoying, I don't believe it has a negative effect on readability. For me, templates are just another level of unneccesary indirection.

    While I don't entirely agree with your first statement, you could just grab the outerHTML instead of appending the element directly to the DOM: $.el.div($.el.span()).outerHTML

    Many would frown upon polluting the global name space with functions corresponding to all known HTML tags.
