		kjbekkelund on July 23, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Step by step from jQuery to Backbone Because I think it's cleaner having it as the third argument on events instead of having a large list of stuff in _.bindAll in initialize (and additionally, I've found it simpler to explain it to others, but I don't know why). I think it's just one of those subjective choices.

Agreed. Plus, bindAll [1] does quite a lot of magic under the hood that IMO is an overkill compared to passing the context object.
