Same. FWIW, I have used Backbone for a bunch of past projects (personal as well as large-scale apps for work). In my latest projects in both, I'm using Marionette on top of Backbone and I've been pleasantly surprised at how well it's working out when managing a complex SPA. I really appreciate Angular and what it's doing but every time I've tried to use it, it hasn't been the right fit. I'm hopeful for it though. Maybe eventually I can find a useful application for it!
Backbone is doing a good job thus far establishing itself as a decent and reliable JS framework. Marionette addresses the specific pain points of view and event management in a larger app that Backbone leaves up to you out of the box.
I've recently really come to appreciate marionette's application and module containers too, and I have really come to rely on all the event bus stuff that comes from backbone.wreqr.

Basically, marionette gets better.
Derek Bailey is a boss. His lost techies blog is great even if you aren't using marionette.
