We've been ploughing through a redesign recently, and Thorax was on our shortlist of frameworks, along with Ember and vanilla Backbone, being "opinionated" and "battle-hardened. However, we found the documentation outdated in parts and it made it really hard to get things going in a short amount of time (Ember's documentation was an order of magnitude worse, however).

In the end we decided on vanilla Backbone, due to our needs and the possibility that Thorax was suffering bitrot (documentation is always the first thing to go). However, we'd like to give Thorax another try provided we can get what we need working.

Either way good work. Thorax is a sensible addition on top of Backbone.

Did you look at Backbone Marionette[1]? I've been using it for a while now and love it.
