Yeah, but that doesn't explain why even after 2 years - which is almost the same as backbone, it has had such a low adaption.

PS: wary of sounding negative - I am just trying to get someone help me convince them next week.

It's just very different than what most GUI tools feel like. In some ways, it's more like a game engine loop than a UI toolkit's message pump. The lack of familiarity slows adoption, despite being, IMHO, vastly superior technology.

Excellent analogy. I've been using AngularJS for about six months, and I honestly never thought of it that way.

It's just lack of communication IMO. I'm quite interested in JS frameworks and only learned about angular a few months ago.

This framework doesn't get (yet) the attention it deserves but from what I've seen this last months it's improving.
