This is the same reason I was turned off to backbone. Being a Rails guy, and a guy who takes 5 minutes to pick a candy out of the machine, I'm much more attracted to an opinionated framework, which is why I've jumped on the angular.js bandwagon.
In fact, on a current project me and another guy are building identical prototypes in angular and backbone to compare notes on which framework we end up going with. He's running into the same issues mentioned in this article - namely, trying to figure out just how he should structure things. Some people love that freedom and flexibility, others find it paralyzing.

Yeah, I'd rather have several clear choices of inflexible things than fuzzy choices of stuff that is so flexible that I ask myself what to do with it.
