- adolfojp 13y agoNegative. This is just a tool for creating Metro apps and it has existed since Windows 8 came out. People are talking about it now because Microsoft just open sourced it. How does it compare with AngularJS? There might be some overlap but it is not a competitor. In fact, Microsoft uses AngularJS frequently on their sessions, documents, templates, etc. http://channel9.msdn.com/events/build/2014?sort=sequential&direction=desc&term=angular#theSessions http://channel9.msdn.com/events/build/2014?sort=sequential&d... Edit: It seems like Microsoft is transforming WinJS into a general purpose JS library. https://github.com/winjs/winjs/wiki/Roadmap#the-present https://github.com/winjs/winjs/wiki/Roadmap#the-present
