The comparison of jQ to Angular is apples to oranges, but I guess the author might be trying to make a argument for libraries vs frameworks. In that sense I agree. After being burned multiple times by opaque, hard to debug frameworks, I'm now firmly in the libraries camp. I'd much rather piece together a number of small self-contained libraries that each do one thing and one thing only, and glue it all together myself. My experience with frameworks has always ended in frustration and disappointment. Sooner or later you will reach the limit of what the framework was designed to do and it's at that point that the true pain begins. I used to be mesmerized by framework automagic now its an instant red flag for me.
