Backbone might not be the cool kid anymore (maybe React is).

I found it to be a good framework for small apps (not those single page JS application).

While I was learning Backbone I didn't find any really good tutorial, but eventually I figure out an usage and style which suits me.

At times I do wish Backbone would be a "complete and opinionated framework", but I figured out a way to use it to build small UI components. I didn't use the Router components, but combination of model and view does wonder.

Nope. Backbone suits my current usage well. When I need to do Single Page App, I am tempted to look into React.
