Yeah, I definitely agree. I frequently comment on MVC js discussions on HN to talk about my experiences with different frameworks. I also know that where I work, we're doing way more work, much faster, with better testing, and having a lot more fun, since we moved to using frameworks.
There was a brief period where different frameworks' Todo list examples got play on HN. Today, you can go to the Backbone homepage and scroll through too many awesome production apps to count, most of them going way beyond simple CRUD and demonstrating some very immersive UIs that would have been very difficult to build before.
