>>> I have specifically avoided angular because I feel like it's a monster in that you are so tied to learning and understanding it's proprietary system. I actually had to exact opposite feeling about Angular. I loved that it was a complete framework and I didn't have to mix and match several libraries to get the functionality I needed. Having said that, I've completely soured on Angular. From the big changes coming in 2.0, to not making this backwards compatible hasn't left me with any confidence they won't do this again in future releases. I've already moved to Ember and haven't had any issues yet.
