I came to the same conclusion awhile back. Also, if it is in any way possible, a view should be able to write its own HTML (the rails worl has a concept of JSTs, not sure if that has filtered out yet), and a view should never insert itself into the dom

What you get is loosely coupled, highly testable (and fast tests, since dom stuff is all in memory) ui code.

Absolutely. To focus the blog post I didn't go any further, but I plan (at some point) to write a blog post going deeper into how (I think) views should work.
