Looked at backbone.js and thought the same thing - overkill for what I needed. I'm always thinking "how will I scale this to portable devices", and one important consideration is code size. Plus IMHO HTML/JavaScript/CSS is quite MVC to begin with (HTML/CSS being the View, JavaScript of course is Controller logic, and just don't make the mistake of using the DOM as your data storage and use JavaScript objects for the Model). Maybe it depends on the complexity of the app, and I'd definitely look at agility.js first if I needed something since it's lighter than backbone.js ...
