As opposed to Backbone, which doesn't bite you hard?

Dude Backbone only works for trivial examples, and even then, and I mean, even with trivial examples, Backbone is almost useless.

I haven't yet been bitten by Knockout in any bad way.

I disagree. Backbone is a structuring framework; if you can't make it work with bigger projects, you're doing it wrong.
