I'd say 90% or so or the pages I write I can do some simple'ish jquery to add the functionality I need. Those other 10% are where I try and go full MVC. I usually already have a PHP model of some kind anyway. I port the PHP model the Javascript so the saving bit goes nice and easy (using JSON as the intermediary) and decouple my UI and data. I know there exists a point for me where I need to organize and add layers just so I can understand my own code. I feel sorry for anyone who has to read/debug a complicated page where the model and view/controller aren't separate.
