Marionette is terrible. The code is a mess: prototypes defined within instances [0]. Uninformed use of design patterns: controllers are what, just namespaces? [1] Unmodular internals, almost like globals [2]. It's not worth a comparison. [0] https://github.com/marionettejs/backbone.marionette/blob/mas...

Marionette is a solid framework. It has everything you need to build fast, and clean: regions (which were a great step in the right direction and will be improved in V2), composite/collection views, layouts... the basics are there for you to work with how you would like. You've made three points which I can't see much fault with. Why the hate?
