I'm sure you don't mean that to sound condescending, but that's really not what I said. It was a question of magicalness vs. payoff - I needed a front-end framework that would handle a bunch of databinding and stay out of my way, and halfway into my first tutorial I found none of the sample code worked (either because I changed a local variable name or because my project already had minification set up, I don't recall). Either way the docs and tutorial I was using didn't even mention the function was being introspected, I had to go source-diving to find that out.
It all worked out to make Angular feel less like a framework and more like a career choice - I couldn't just give it idiomatic javascript and expect things to work. If this introspection thing is the one and only magical part of Angular and I just happened to trip over it, maybe I got the wrong impression.
