> And as we announced back in December, AngularJS 1.3.0 no longer supports IE8. This allowed us to make improvements and performance enhancements that otherwise would not be possible. It is possible, see how rivetsjs did that years ago. But it is still a very nice thing to drop IE8.

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

Msft still supports IE8 on windows 7 and various server os's. As much as I would like to see it die it remains in a bunch of corporate environments with ms support.

React is just for presentation though (the V in MVC)

But React + Flux is an alternative to MVC. Still early days for Flux, but the principles are sound and I hope it offers a viable alternative to all these framework that rely mainly on variants of the MVC pattern.

Flux seem so overcomplicated I can't believe what I'm seeing.

They also released AngularDart 1.0 a few days ago: http://blog.angulardart.org/2014/10/angulardart-10-has-lande...

How does AngularDart compare to AngularJS, on a feature level?

Does it have all or most of the features from the new 1.3 release?

I feel Angular is better than almost everything out there but still not quite right. It seems way too complex for what it does, and the syntax looks like somebody vomited all over your code. Does two-way databinding have to be so awkward? Angular does help you in writing maintainable code (which is vital for JavaScript - dealing with large JS codebases is hard), but it also ties you to a technology which is probably…

> Does two-way databinding have to be so awkward?

The verbose parts have nothing to do with the data-binding. The dependency injection is there for testability (https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/unit-testing), you have to use array notation because JS changes variable names upon minification. The rest is just objects being used to set up options.

Because it makes up 10 percent of the user base in my country.

And as long as we insist on catering to them, they won't be compelled to install a modern browser.

You're preaching to the choir, but try convincing my boss and the company that owns our agency; it's too large a user-base to ignore, and we do some stuff for the government so we don't have much of a choice.

Are there any benchmark results available? They mention it increased speed, by a lot, but don't give any numbers -- instead point to a code repo where you can run your own. This is great, but I want an "at a glance" numbers on a variety of platforms so I can verify their claim and then take it to my boss to push through an upgrade. An "executive summary" if you will.

If you read the post you'll see a link to benchmark scores

there are no results there, just the code to run. I also looked for it.

Small sidenote. Whilst I understand that the Angular team feel obliged to use Blogger, can people please not use the Blogger dynamic views. No content without JavaScript. Why doesn't Google come up with their own standard Google Blogger template for their project teams anyway?

I think Flux is probably very simple, it's just been presented very, very poorly.

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…

>That's frankly why I like big and opinionated frameworks such as Angular. 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 devic…

Ember makes strong opinions about the backend webservices as well as the front end. I don't think Angular does that.

AngularDart closer to AngularJS 2.0 (AngularJS 2.0 will be based on ideas from AngularDart).
