AngularJS has a J2EE mindset. Where libraries grow to become as hard to learn as programming languages themselves. It does not make semantic sense to me anymore. Here is an example from the site: Length (float): {{length}} This is not a valid float number! How semantic is ng-show="form.length.$error.float? smart-float sounds like C++. If programming languages worked like this, we wouldn't have built many apps. The pr…

React solves all the problems in the world with their nestable but still autonomous components approach. It dispenses controllers -- and automatically give control to the component which deserves it --, it dispenses templates, and automatically gives the power to make the entire app in modular small pieces of HTML, it dispenses models, because models are already embedded in the components in which data is rendered. R…

This is true. AngularJS is much better than what we had before, it is kind of large and monolithic. The cycle probably goes thusly: Large monolithic framework comes and shows everyone a new way of doing things (Angular/Django). People think it is too large and monolithic, so make microframeworks (Flask/Whatever comes after Angular). The next step will be a kind of happy medium.

imo AngularJS can be pretty micro and scales nicely. Its one of its major strengths, as you can use it to just build a tiny widget inside an existing page or all in and build a huge application.

Backbone doesn't do data binding; it's a completely different thing. (That's why things like rivet and epoxy exist; because backbone doesn't do it right)

Correction: Backbone doesn't try to be the kitchen sink like Angular. Its source code is about 500 lines, and its docs say as much: "Two way data-binding" is avoided. While it certainly makes for a nifty demo, and works for the most basic CRUD, it doesn't tend to be terribly useful in your real-world app. Sometimes you want to update on every keypress, sometimes on blur, sometimes when the panel is closed, and someti…

All I really need are client-side templates and awesome DOM binding. What's the current best options?

Backbone.JS, it's exceptionally bare bones, but hey it's YOUR code. You don't have to memorize an entire framework like Angular. Pick up a Backbone book and in two weeks your dangerous enough to use it. A month, you're in the groove. 6 months: Angul-who?

An yet another simple text blog that is 100%, completely, utterly broken an useless without JavaScript enable. There isn't even any compelling feature. Besides the sliding out mention there is _no_ reason JavaScript even needs to be on this page. I don't get why BlogSpot an so many other sites require javascript to o absolutely nothing of value just to see the site. It's maddening and appalling.

It's maddening and appalling to you because you deliberately disabled an essential part of the web platform on your browser. Your problem, not theirs.
