  > Backbone by itself is not sufficient for building complex web apps. 
What he meant was that for any complex web apps built on backbone.js, you have to build a layer on top of it or use additional plugins. You won't build complex applications as is.

IMHO, I consider backbone.js more as a base framework which you need to enhance before starting your project. So, in a way, every complex backbone.js app is more of a <Complete new framework> extending Backbone.js.

A proof of that is mostly the number of available plugins (which is great!!). As a matter of fact, ender could be written on top of backbone.



Yes. A very good clarification, and I would tend to agree
