Yes! But this depends a bit on the use case. The main benefit of Backbone is that it helps you organize your code into separated data model and view/interaction objects, so that you don’t wind up with a giant mess of deeply nested, arbitrarily interconnected, and unmaintainable DOM event handlers. It also has a nice object designed for coordinating browser history/URL views in single-page apps. If any of those components would be helpful to your project, absolutely try using Backbone for it
