Consider using a JavaScript framework #2265

Imported from scrumdo story 110

With the latest changes towards 2.2, a lot of JavaScript has been added, and in the future more work can be foreseen in that direction.

But things can get complicated and code not easy to maintain. That's why a JS framework can be helpful in the long run.

Backbone.js can be a good candidate. It allows to write models and views. Views are notified of model changes in order to re-render UI parts. http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/

Rather than an end goal, this should be considered as a tool to help separating concepts (models, views, controllers) in the code.

Marking as fixed since Backbone has been added in the feature/global-search branch. There's still a lot of refactoring work to be done, but that's mostly bug #3014.
