Thanks Angel, it looks really great! Sam, I think it would be nice to switch to AngularJS at some point and we can definitely re-use some of the Angel's experience on that.
Angel, do you think that yeoman [1] can help this transition backbone -> angular? I've also seen that there is a good integration between maven and yeoman [2], namely grunt.js, or/and gulp.js. I think those tools can help in mitigating the jsgui build pain, but I'd like to have your ideas here. Thoughts?
