Seems odd to make a decision on framework by watching a couple of videos, but then compare dozens of application starters along hundreds of dimensions. I would think the choice of starter would be much less important. Between the choice of

Great video, but I'm wondering what's going on with this page. There is a giant (700px tall) div with only white text (on a white background) and the video all the way at the bottom.
