I'm surprised that no one's pointed this out yet, but isn't this basically the same as Knockout (http://knockoutjs.com/)?

The difference being that Knockout's been around forever (first release was in 2010), does two things and does them well (data binding and observables), and is very mature and feature-complete at this point.

I don't have any comparison performance-wise, but I don't see anything new and exciting feature-wise in JSBlocks that Knockout doesn't already do.

It is similar to Knockout. However, Knockout is hard to manage because you have to invent architecture on your own while jsblocks offers MVC out of the box. Additionally, Knockout don't have routing, server-side rendering, animations, filtering, sorting, paging, lazy loading of views, validation, working with remote data out of the box.

Also the debugging experience is a cool feature - http://jsblocks.com/learn/introduction-why-jsblocks#debuggin....
