I was more of a fan of Durandal, which was Aurelia's predecessor. It was a SPA wrapper around out-of-the-box Knockout. It seemed cleanly focused and was useful in that you didn't need to learn a different view engine if you were already using Knockout.

Following Rob's blog because of Durandal was a part of how I landed on "try to avoid Angular" and it did give me Aurelia as a bit of arsenal to say "hey, this framework is enough like Angular that it should feel comfortable to work in" for a time.

I never did end up liking Aurelia more than Durandal, but I certainly liked it more than Angular.

makes sense. i was obviously coming from angular, and as i said before, i did look at knockout and i found angular was the better choice. so i guess aurelia's appeal then came naturally. but then i didn't know about durandal, so i can't say how much i would have liked it. but this tells me that angular had a stronger influence on aurelia than i was aware of. that's not surprising of course, but still interesting.

As a React developer, I think Aurelia 2 is the best JS/TS framework today. I always use Aurelia for personal projects.
