I love Knockout and I can't wait to replace my templating engine with it. However, performance needs to be radically improved.

Model driven views is by far the nicest way to build web applications; and Knockout is the most mature platform. The only other model driven alternative is Google MDV. The Google framework however has just been put together as a proof-of-concept prototype and is way to unstable to use in production.

I believe Knockout will be a huge hit if performance is addressed. As it stands now, you will have to give up performance for productivity. As the end user experience is on top of my list, I will have to make do with compiled string based templating for now (like DoT).
