$.ajax question

[darkgnostic]

Shouldn't you use Backbone.ajax instead $.ajax calls?

For example here.

From their docs:

If you want to use a custom AJAX function, or your endpoint doesn't support the jQuery.ajax API and you need to tweak things, you can do so by setting Backbone.ajax.

jQuery.ajax is standard, and we have no need to modify or tweak. jQuery is also a Backbone.js dependency so we get it for free.
