Using SproutCore means moving your business logic client side.

SproutCore – unlike jQuery, which is primarily a DOM library – is a MVC framework for client-side desktop-class applications written in JavaScript and heavily influenced by Cocoa (Apple’s Mac OSX development framework). It differs itself from other JavaScript libraries because it focuses on providing all the tools required to build a full desktop-like application in the browser – like routing, view controllers, UI components, data store layer, unit testing and deployment tools. Using SproutCore means moving your business logic client side which significantly decreases latency because your application only needs to reach back to the server for data (and to perform business logic you may not want client side).
