I've worked with both frameworks. You're too quick to judge Angular. Secondly, I suggest you watch Angular 1.2 & beyond: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W13qDdJ

I've worked with both frameworks. You're too quick to judge Angular. Secondly, I suggest you watch Angular 1.2 & beyond: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W13qDdJDHp8&feature=c4-overview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W13qDdJDHp8&feature=c4-overvi... For instance, scope will be optional in the future, not only that but the roadmap for Angular Next is very impressive (see around the 44:40 mark). --- Angular is accelerating; it has more stars/watchers/staff than Ember. Embers' core devs barely have time for pull requests. To the best of my knowledge Ember has no full-time staffers. Angular is fully staffed by Google. Both take contribution from the community.

Angular wasn't invented at Google (it was invented by Angular company, which got acqui-hired by Google) and some Google staffers have mentioned Angular breaks a few documented Google rules for creating Javascript MVC frameworks. I suspect Angular's popularity has more to do with a logo than features. - The unnecessary new module system is a massive waste of time and obviously doesn't play well with others - It's the first MVC framework I've used that can't properly loop over an array or primitives (the partials for the primitives be displayed,but changes to them won't flow back to the parent as Angular can't make a $parent (IIRC) key. Also: 'NG' just fucking doesn't stand for Angular.

  According to angular's FAQ: > Q: Why is this project called "AngularJS"? Why is the namespace called "ng"? > A: Because HTML has Angular brackets and "ng" sounds like "Angular". http://docs.angularjs.org/misc/faq http://docs.angularjs.org/misc/faq sigh

    Yes, I (would have thought quite obviously, but perhaps not) know that. The fact there's an FAQ question on an abbreviation should tell you something. Thanks for the sigh though, and the substantive response to the points raised in the body of my post, it really adds a lot.

  Angular went open source before it turned into 'official google'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AngularJS#Development_history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AngularJS#Development_history

    Yep. My issue is that it's 'by Google' according to the logo. As you mentioned, it was designed by GetAngular. Promoting it as 'by Google' is misleading.
