He didn't mention other frameworks - but how JS doesn't give you two-way bindings. Which it doesn't. Your second point is about Handlebars, which isn't even mentioned in the comment you replied to.



My parent suggests two way binding requires manually annotating the DOM, implying that it's an Angular-exclusive feature.

Furthermore, those who don't like annotation aren't writing JavaScript views, they're writing HTML templates and annotating them with some JS, which means the parent offers a false dichotomy.


Incorrect. I was saying that the joke example presented didn't in anyway show the difference in power that Angular gives you over raw js - nothing at all about Angular exclusivity.


Word. I think we can all agree that EVERY framework is far better than plain old JS; the comparison is so nonsensical to me that I assumed you couldn't possibly be making it. Seems good!


No, that wasn't implied. He's just saying that's what it's there for in this example.


I guess we just read it differently, then.


We did, and he just corrected you, so there's that.
