You'd hit what I was talking about precisely on the head.

I feel your pain on figuring out which JavaScript SPA framework to use. I don't think I've seen any particularly compelling examples in public of even Backbone.js, which is currently the most popular one to use. The templating and sync semantics aren't appealing.

And yes, some of my proudest moments, too, have been making a <100 line solution to a problem. That having been said those are never the truly hairy problems.

The hairy problems are when the rubber meets the road and whether or not the solution I've built on is going to be appropriate or not. Those are going to be >100 line of code problems.

I have to be able to build things of at least moderate complexity with a framework without blood gushing my eyes and ears.

<100 line examples don't tell me if that's going to be the case or not.

The superficiality of this non-content makes my spleen rupture.
