But he write what most of the developers misunderstood. Many people use Angular for jobs, that will be easier and faster done with a simple jQuery. "Get the job done" got replaced with "its cool to use xyz".

I dunno - since I properly learned me some angular - I've been bashing through jobs like no tomorrow. Each time I've thought 'there has to be more to do than that'. If I were doing JQueries - there would be an entire stack of event driven DOM updates still to code.

  For that you can use a simple library like http://www.ractivejs.org/ http://www.ractivejs.org/ But it depends on the complexity and size of a project and how many developers are involved. I prefer frameworks too, but for a small WebApp, it is overkill to use frameworks like angular/backbone/whatever.

Angular's value proposition for the dev is that if you take time to learn its unusual idioms and opinions, it will pay off. Its a very opinionated framework which contains some concepts most web developers aren't terribly familiar with - e.g. dependency injection - but which promises increased control over managing complex interactions, and consequently faster development times. Of course this means that for simple jobs jQuery may be better suited, unless you're trying to LEARN Angular, in which case it makes sense to struggle through trivial apps with complex tools until it clicks. None of this supports the article's thesis, of course, which is something akin to "I dont understand this, it must be lame!"
