But the landing page doesn't say much as well. The first section is "Why?," and the only "what" is "Ampersand.js is a well-defined approach to combining (get it?) a series of intentionally tiny modules."

I don't know what that means, and the reasons for it are "simplicity of tiny modules and npm dependency," which are not exactly convincing by itself, as I can do that just fine with plain Browserify. Then, going to the "Learn" page I get my hands busy.. with something I know nothing about.

This is heavily marketed towards Backbone users, I'm guessing.

Yea that's fair enough. This is an initial release so I'm sure they are reading these comments and working to improve their site/docs/etc.

You're right that it's basically for Backbone users:

> We <3 Backbone.js at &yet. It’s brilliantly simple and solves many common problems in developing clientside applications.

> But we missed the focused simplicity of tiny modules in node-land.

Read as: "This is like Backbone.js (almost a forked Backbone.js) but better." (better from some perspective, at least)
