Sorry?

Wait, seriously?

When I started using Angular 3 years ago (ver 0.9) it was already mature enough for serious web development and better (better structured, better documented, better for large web apps) than a lot of other frameworks (like Backbone). Back then it was developed by three Czech guys, that Google employed in the meantime and funded their project.
> Enterprise IT managers also like the fact that Angular closely mirrors the preferences of their back-end developers.
This just pisses me off already.
> Many front-enders, on the other hand, who have worked with JavaScript and browsers for years and have developed their own coding style, tend to have their doubts about Angular.
Yes, because their old code used to be utterly crap compared to something written in Angular. Angular does not let you write such messy code as you could without a framework.
This article is all FUD. I have never imagined that I'll ever see such a bad piece written about Angular.
Tell us more how it is better structured and better documented than Backbone and what exactly makes it better for the large apps. The size of the app will hide the size of the framework better?
