Really? There's no need to be insulting or condescending.
The reaction against Backbone is that people like the tutorial author evangelize it as a universally better solution, like the line about the original example code: "It looks like most JavaScript code I wrote a year ago." That's just smug and annoying.
And while a strong MVC pattern is appropriate in some instances, the fact is that it is not appropriate for probably 95% of web apps out there. Instead, it's over-abstraction and over-architecture that gets in the way of productive development.
