I'm getting the feeling that Angular has now become the Haskell of client-side frameworks.
i.e. the one you'll see shamelessly plugged under every single discussion about any other client-side framework as if it is some work of genius, even though lots of users tend to agree that it's just yet another take on the subject that some like better and some don't, with some very lacking and outdated documentation and a much stronger and opinionated take on things that is simply not everyone's cup of tea.
With all due respect to the fantastic project that is Angular, I just wish people would stop flashing it everywhere like it's going to solve world hunger and programmer distress or something...
I don't think the parent post was suggesting anything of the sort. Instead of claiming to solve world hunger, it looks like AngularJS makes it possible to actually get started if you're new to this kind of framework.
I haven't tried Ember nor Angular yet (Ember because of a lack of documentation and Angular because I basically didn't hear much about it till today) but at this point, I'd use Angular simply because their website actually looks like it has a quickstart/tutorial that works.
In part, it's relief. the Angular project has relatively minimal functionality and therefore does it quite well. The documentation is adequate (there are a few places where there are 'magic settings' which aren't immediately obvious, plus it pushes you to write tests.
