Yeah, I'm not saying that Angular literally replaces javascript "if" syntax with SGML syntax. However, it does fit in with a long line of tools whose premise is "Normal programming with normal control flow is an insufficient tool for the unique problems of ${DOMAIN}. We need to create a new programming model with its own syntax and exotic control flow to make things easier." The appearance of the "if-statement-in-markup" (or "if-statement-in-flowchart-diagrams", etc.) is to me a sure sign of a certain kind of misguided system.
