I'm also a major fan of two way binding, but I agree with the problem the article raises re dirty checking. I much prefer Knockout because for the price of writing observable(value) rather than field = value I don't have to worry about dirty checking or the knock on effects of updating a value. Combine it with Typescript and you quickly get over the learning curve of calling to set a value rather than assigning. On the server side rendering front I'd be curious to know if you do LOB apps. In my in house dev world where people are almost always within 100m of the server and used to Oracle Forms the experience you are describing is easy, fast and blows user's minds.
