Yeah I got that feeling. I've used and like Angular, but can't figure out why I'd want to use this instead.

I have the exact same question. Polymere does databinding, and custom html elements, but I think Angular does it a little better.
I think AngularJS has more features but Polymer is more modular and designed to be more easily adoptable over time and also fit in with Web Components. I also think that a few things in Angular are hard to figure out, whereas this looks a little more straightforward. So if this Polymer thing could add some of the stuff that Angular has like routing with pushstate then I will definitely consider using it.
