SproutCore works the way you describe, views are not directly tied to models for updates, but views do update (always) when the model changes.

So at least in that respect, SproutCore 1.x and Backbone are in full agreement.

Absolutely -- the bit that we're discussing is one of the areas where SC 2.0 / Amber diverges, and more importantly is the heart of Yehuda's claim that "if you’re a Backbone fan, I think you’ll love how little code you need to write with Amber".
