"I want two-way binding only, but I'm forced to take the whole framework. There is too much overhead for me. I hope they will make the data-binding a separate piece and make it simpler." How about Knockout.js? http://knockoutjs.com/

Looks decent. With a quick look the the binding system looks simpler than in Angular and the docs are not blowing up. They openly love jQuery. Much closer to my taste. I picked up the 3 frameworks on my blog entry because they seemed to be the most talked about. Have to keep an eye on this.

Neat. Would be super interesting to see what the architecture is like, how the modules are laid out etc.

The whole client will be open sourced later once it's properly packaged. It takes time.

I'll first release the syntax highlight package, which supports 50+ languages and is super small. Then I'll first release the json-rpc communication piece. Finally the client.

This example from the docs seems quite heavy:

Feels a bit strange to define functions on the HTML code.
