I've been toying with mercury, which is similar to React/flux, and had the same dilemma as the parent. It seems a bit strange to use a really light weight library like mercury and then throw jQuery into the mix.

I also checked out superagent and it seems to have a good amount of dependencies. I was thinking of simply wrapping XMLHttpRequest with the promise lib of my choice.
