Perhaps we do disagree, that's okay! I think a fair comparison would be Mithril vs Backbone, but not necessarily with using jQuery as you could use Zepto.

I think it's really tough to do comparisons well and what it really comes down to, in my opinion, is how useful the library more so than the size and performance (within reason).

Also, my mistake on missing the links to the implementations in the comparison. Perhaps there needs to be a bit more contrast between the copy and the links?

Anyways, I've used Mithril and I think it's great, just wanted to make sure that the comparisons were fair.
