A lot of people are finding out that views are the hardest thing to do - especially with Backbone. The problem is that views are tightly coupled to the model so it's hard to build them up. I just wrote http://modernjavascript.blogspot.com/2012/06/v-in-mvc.html for another post but believe that it could be helpful in this situation. You'd need to actually write a Backbone.controller class and move the logic in to there but then you could create a whole lot of Backbone.Views that were generic and could be hooked up through the Control (I'd also like to see a Backbone.MultiView or something that could take several views in and then re-emit the changes and allow people to add in several small component views in to a large view either for a collection or a model.
Sorry how they are tightly coupled in backbone? I have a number of beefs with backbone.js but coupling between the model and views (or the views and anything) is not one of them. In fact I mostly only use backbone for the views and the convenient event binding.
