Is it still problematic to use Backbone.js?

When I first encountered Backbone.js ten years ago, I was enamored with it. I still have my client side state managed with Backbone.js. Svelte is the front-end framework that I utilize. For front-end projects, I usually use Svelte for components and Backbone for state management. In order to make Backbone’s collections and models consistent with a sleek store signature and enable component responsiveness to model changes, I implement a monkey patching technique.

Exists a significant drawback to applying this method? Is there a more effective method?

Hi, Backbone.js is considered outdated for modern web development due to its minimalistic structure compared to more advanced frameworks like React or Vue.js. Using it may pose challenges in terms of scalability and maintenance.

Hello Chanel, one advantage of Backbone and Marionette is that they are lightweight, and as a developer, you can grasp the source code.
