as a designer this still seems a little convoluted to me. I think jquery did so well because of it's simple interface and I think javascript mvc can also be done simpler then this.
I'm not saying this is bad. Just that I'm not going to jump on this until a simpler option come around. I am also a mvc fan.
I would try it. I'm using KnockoutJS plus CoffeeScript and it's hard to imagine how it could be much cleaner. I would never go back to using jQuery bindings for UI except maybe for the smallest little things.
Could you give an example how KnockoutJS and CoffeeScript fit together? Or is there a blog post somewhere that explains the details for using this combo?
