There was a guy who joined the Knockout or Angular team (I forget which) since they had similar ideas for the future of their frameworks. Not too long later, he left them and restarted his project as their vision began to diverge.

I don't know why anyone would want One True JS framework. Many of them provide different things. Angular has the kitchen-sink approach handling everything from templating, model-binding, routing and ajax requests and on the other end of the spectrum there are small libraries that do one thing well and encourage their users to adopt other libraries to do other stuff. Choice is a good thing.

Probably you mean Rob Eisenberg, creator of Durandal[0] for Knockout.js. He first joined the Angular 2 team as they shared visions and Angular 2 was planned to be migratable from Durandal but after a while he left to create Aurelia[1].

I'm keeping an eye on http://aurelia.io/ - I like the way it's going. There's no doubt Rob Eisenberg is smart; whether they can build a community & get traction around Aurelia remains to be seen.
