I just got finished porting an admin panel from rails views to backbone.js and doing anything in backbone.js is a lot more work. Not only that, you still end up using rails views because you probably want to send pre rendered html to the client to minimize their wait time.
Just curious, but did you use a JS templating language? Cos we've been sending json back and pushing it to mustache templates which seem to render pretty quick.

I used underscore templates. Rendering large complex pages is slow. Doing it client side on an iPad is not good.
