Sproutcore has come along way since 1.0, I totally agree. However, the code that I've seen in sproutcore apps just didn't seem as clean, simple and intuitive to me as in backbone apps. What really got me going with backbone is that I could so easily refactor my exist jquery code into a backbone view, and that the models talked to my existing server app (rails) with almost no effort.
