Been using AngularJS to reproduce a Backbone App : markme (in AngularJS) : http://markme.alwaysdata.net/ http://markme.alwaysdata.net/ which is a clone bookmarly.com , done with backbone. The source is here : https://github.com/Mparaiso/silex-bookmarkly https://github.com/Mparaiso/silex-bookmarkly AngularJS is great , it doesnt do everything so you still need to build your own stack, as for backbone ( jquery ,bootstrap, and even requirejs as it doesnt do AMD out of the box ... ). It comes with a lot of testing tools , make it easy to mock backends , DOM elements ... It is the best frontend framework for LOB , period. It has builtin form support , filtering , validation , is easy to integrate with bootstrap , and extend , and produce sane code , unlike ExtJS for instance( SenchaTouch is however very good for mobile apps , it is blazing fast. ). If you are doing some animation heavy stuff ,where you need total control over dom elements lifecycle , i would not recommand it, backbone is better for that , i still use backbone for data light apps.
