This is great. Does anyone know of a similar primer for Angular 1.*?

  One problem is that angular 1.x is considerably more complicated than react. There's John Papa's style guide [0], but IMO it's not great. There's an angular review [1] that I believe hits the nail on the head: "Angular wants you to build your application in a particular way, but it’s not very explicit about it. Call it “passive-aggressive architecture.”" After using angular for over ~2 years, I'm far happier with react (and a flux implementation, if doing something more complicated). You end up with far simpler code and more maintainable code. The fact that the angular team itself is doing a complete rewrite that throws away almost all the fundamentals of angular 1.x shows a clear recognition of the many flaws present in it.

    Thanks for the insight! :) I'm just starting to get my feet wet with JS frameworks so the input is appreciated.
