Has anyone experimented with this frameworks? I'm curious to know which one is the best in terms of how long will they be supported, adoption, features, and ease of use.

I'm currently experimenting with Backbone.js but I find it a bit hard to adjust to MVC in the browser. Tutorials on the web are also not very helpful and most of them incomplete; but I'm not giving up :)

I've just played with Backbone.js myself, though I have shared your frustration with getting the hang of it, and the quality of available tutorials and examples.

I've learned to mostly get the hang of it after repeated references to the official docs and the todo app. I think part of the difficulty is its lack of rigidity -- Backbone.js leaves quite a bit up to conventions, or the developer.
