Just so we're clear, we got away from things like jQuery's approach to Javascript to get clumsy JS off of a DOM basis. We built a "back-front-end", as I lovingly refer to it, to keep objects more... well, object-y.

Then we turn around and use that framework to clumsily tie back together presentation and logic. Wonderful.

Templates aren't a hack. They are they method to create extensible objects in the presentation layer. Backbone UI users seems to be forgetting Backbone's original intent.
