Thanks Dan and all for their feedback.

>From what I've gleamed from this discussion and others, Javascript code for
any given modern web application, is ever increasing.  It's getting more and
more complex, to the point, dare I say, that much of the MVC functionality
is actually living in the browser, and less so on the server - the server is
becoming dumber and only performs simple operations and consistency/security
checks.

I think this really begs some questions on current server-side frameworks
and the MVC methodology.  Changes like this have already begun, namely in
RoR and other platforms.

Time for another framework folks :)
