    I used it on Cashboard to do the live updating bits for the new project bulletin board. (http://new.cashboardapp.com/tou... ...new promo URL not "live" yet)

    It's pretty flexible, but you end up writing a ton of customization code. I had to write a whole mess of shit, including an ajax request queue, nested display framework, etc.

    If it's "worth learning" depends on what you're trying to do with it. I used it because it was open in nature, and I could easily hack / shoehorn it into an existing project.

    If you're starting a project from scratch I'd recommend something a bit more all all encompassing, like Ember.js - http://emberjs.com/

    There's a ton of other JS frameworks out there. Lord knows I spend a good month just researching them all. :/
