Django's goals are probably not our goals for our web application

On the frontend, our company uses Backbone.js.

My favorite part of Backbone.js is that its development as a framework is essentially “complete” (it works as designed, functions reliably / predictably, and the maintainers aren’t running in circles trying to reinvent the framework with breaking changes)

That said, I feel like I’m losing “street cred” for admitting that we still use Backbone.

It would be great, at least in my opinion, to see more frameworks like Backbone.js (with respect to reaching a “framework is complete” state).

Backbone.js Changelog: https://backbonejs.org/#changelog

Edit: All of the above also applies to Underscore.js (https://underscorejs.org/#changelog)

We did some client work up until about 2 years ago with Backbone, too. We loved it. The entire team knew it very well and it got the job done. At least a few developers at the client would also be familiar with it every time, so it was a win win.
