Having done a couple Angular projects now (and not really loving it), I started learning Knockout on the strength of this thread:

http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/2kl88s/angular_...

So far I'm really impressed! I appreciate how focused it is, how it is "more library than framework," and how nicely it plays with other Javascript libraries. And unlike Angular, you can really get up to speed in an evening, so trying it out is an easy investment.

I'm curious what you're combining with it? I think I will use:

- sammy.js for routing

- knockout.mapping for making API calls

- Bootstrap

- jQuery+Underscore for general utilities

- Maybe this for d3 graphs: https://github.com/hoonzis/KoExtensions

Anything else?

It's been awhile since I've done any greenfield projects. As such, I'm usually stuck with some ancient/crappy libs. I'm definitely a fan of Bootstrap and jQuery though. I've also been looking into sammy and ko mapping as well, but I haven't had to do a SPA recently (but one is on the horizon)
