Awesome, lets join forces on the backend part!

I got some for you ;)

I think it's splendid!

Personally I think stability (and a better user experience in case of 
errors) is still the major issue of Neos and I assume that you're 
planning to address this with the JavaScript refactoring.
Clients I worked with are already used to press F5 and/or execute "rm 
-rf Data/Temporary" on a regular basis - a bad sign IMO ;)

One common scenario:
Neos session is expired, so the AJAX request gets a 403 but only shows 
some cryptic error. When reloading the page the login is shown and 
redirects the browser to the AJAX request that has been intercepted, 
leading to another cryptic output ;)
