no offense, but I am the only one who thinks this MVC style isn't an option anymore after things like react?
You're not alone. Use Vieux architecture instead: Vieux.io :)
Developing Backbone.js Applications – a Creative Commons book

Re: Developing Backbone.js Applications – a Creative Commons book
#22Not trying to be cynical, but i am kinda glad that backbone is "over" for me. Been with it for about 5 years or more and i have seen big projects fall apart. You don't see the tree behind all the leafs after a year of coding. With flux/react/angular around development is a lot more fun again. I can't imagine going back.
While I have largely moved away from Backbone, what makes Backbone really great, still, is its adaptability. While I wouldn't endeavor to write a brand new application with it so much anymore, it's extremely hackable and especially great for abstracting away ugly legacy web service APIs. It's definitely saved my sanity on that front on more than one occasion.
