It is possible, see how rivetsjs did that years ago. But it is still a very nice thing to drop IE8.

If Angular wasn't endorsed by Google would it be as popular as it is?

nope!

If Microsoft no longer supports IE8, why should web developers?

Nice! Angular is described by its creator as a better browser. That's why it gets so much heat. Because you actually have to hook into a app lifecycle you dont control. And you know what ? that's great,because it means there is only one way to skin a cat and when you have to work with a huge team,it's time saving as there is no architectural debate. That's frankly why I like big and opinionated frameworks such as Ang…

I'd agree with you but then I realize I just got done pruning pure dom-manipulating jQuery code out of a colleague's angular directive today. Honestly I wish angular were more opinionated.

Because web developers make money from targeting IE8 users (depending on the browser demographics of their client), whereas Microsoft does not.

That's weird that you say that Angular is opinionated, or maybe it's not.

When I first started hearing about Angular, the story was that Angular was very opinionated compared to Backbone which made you figure everything out on your own.

Then as Ember gelled Angular became the un-opinionated framework that left the developers to their own devices compared to the very opinionated "Ember way".

I guess every framework is what you want it to be, or what you don't.

Shameless plug for my open-source project Angular Classy. Recently pre-released a beta for 1.0, of course it's fully tested and compatible AngularJS 1.3. http://davej.github.io/angular-classy/beta.html Feedback is always appreciated.

Could include a short description with your shameless plug?

...or at least a description on your actual web page? All I see there is a change log and example.
