If you're not familiar with the MVC variants (MVVM, MVP, MVI, MOVE)[0][1] we should start there.

Next you should read through some common mistakes of Backbone.js like applications https://www.toptal.com/backbone-js/top-8-common-backbone-js-... and some criticisms of MVC on HackerNews in 2012[0].

Finally if you haven't before these talks, they are the ones that sold me on React:

Sorry your last attempt failed. If you have been following React discussions on HN you know there's massive criticism about hooks. MVC is still the predominant pattern and for very good reason. Backbone.js is not relevant for this discussion.
