Q: what's the threshold where it's worth switching from CGI scripts (w/flat files or simple db schema) to Rails/Django type MVC frameworks?

performance wise it'd be fine. The bigger problem is all the free features frameworks give you. But if you don't need them it's fine

What I'm playing with, all logic is js+svg, backend just persists a flat-file state barely above cookie level dumbness.

if you're comfortable with js, node.js is a small step up to add simple backend logic.

Not yet, but getting there. js itself is easy enough. DOM manipulation is taking me more time. Avoiding jQuery for now.

yet another thing to learn. Need to get comfy with raw a bit more before I add another layer. I'm slow that way.

fair enough. Helpful to learn a bit from each layer of the abstraction hierarchy
