Re-implementing 'filter' & 'orderBy' (especially when reversing) were great examples of extremely common functionality that I eventually abstracted out into React's "Mixins". So, to rephrase, Angular (much like Dojo did over a half-decade ago) gets you 90% there while Backbone (and to a less degree React) puts some of the boilerplate burden back on you. I'm still doing a re-factor trying to figure out the optimal way of using React (we're talking in IRC now!), so I'm not done with it yet! :)
