More than anything else, javascript programmers need a way to structure large codebases. Very few frameworks (including backbone.js) help with that and the build process of complex RIAs.

That said, I do like the simplicity of backbone.js.

In my opinion, the build process of a JavaScript application should be a separate thing from the libraries you choose to make it with.

That said, we (DocumentCloud) have also open-sourced Jammit -- the library we use to build JS, CSS, and JS templates into asset packages for production:

Here's a screenshot of what it looks like to have a bunch of Backbone Models and Views that will get Jammit'd into a single file at deploy time:
