Don't get me wrong, by now I more or less versatile inside angular's guts. But the way stuff 'magically' appears in the html template might serve not so well to newcomers. The way it hurt - is when you stuck with some issue due design choices (dirty-checking loop) and have no clue how to proceed, nor there any really good sources to get answers, while reading angular code is plain painful. Compare this to small scope of Backbone.js, whose source code can be read easily, and you might see why i am against angular's magic for newcomers.
