After successfully implementing a project with React.js + Backbone models and routers, I'm now sure Angular is both unnecessarily complex and limited.
One of the nicest things about React.js is not having to deal with such a layered architecture, you work at the right level of abstraction ("components"), and those components are composable. Some people freak out with JSX but it pays off to finally have a proper GUI pipeline for web apps instead of manipulating the DOM directly, or being limited to directives embedded in HTML.
- nahname 13y agoDo you have any open source projects for others to learn from? Used backbone a few times, always turns into a train wreck.
- hcarvalhoalves 13y agoUnfortunately it's a commercial product so no source. Drop me a mail though (see profile), I can give some pointers. I know what you mean by Backbone, and all I can say is that often wiring up the views is the culprit. Models and routers work nicely and that's all I used from Backbone in this project.
