This might be too late for your application, but I just saw this review of 12 MVC frameworks.
http://codebrief.com/2012/01/the-top-10-javascript-mvc-frameworks-reviewed/ Quoted from the page: > Specifically, the following four features are very important to me: > UI Bindings - I’m not just talking about templates, I’m talking about a > declarative approach to automatically updating the view layer when the > underlying model changes. Once you have used a framework (such as Flex) > that supports UI bindings, you can never go back. > Composed Views - Like all software developers, I enjoy creating modular > reusable code. For this reason, when programming UI, I would like to be > able to compose views (preferably at the template layer). This should also > entail the potential for a rich view component hierarchy. An example of > this would be a reusable pagination widget. > Web Presentation Layer - We are programming for the web here people, the > last thing I want are native-style widgets. There is also no reason for a > web framework to create it’s own layout manager. HTML and CSS are already > the richest way to do style and layout in existence, and should be used as > such. The framework should be centered around this concept. > Plays Nicely With Others - Let’s face it, jQuery is pretty amazing. I > don’t want a framework which comes bundled with a sub-par jQuery clone, I > want a framework which recommends using jQuery itself.
