Agreed, this seems like some kind of strange competition/point of pride between javascript libraries. The smallest slightest advantage in the quality of your application instantly offsets whatever extra time you spent on loading 100k extra javascript. The only advantage I see is in moving away the ember style. It's ridiculous how frameworks get a free pass from violating single-resposibility by claiming to be "opinionated".
