Agreed.

I actually started with Backbone and found the documentation sketchy. Nearly every tutorial had a different configuration than the last one. Backbone and Rails, Backbone, Ember and Mongo, Backbone and Coffeescript.

Nearly every one of the Angular tutorials was concise, took the same approach and used the entire framework, without any other dependencies. This made it easy to learn dig in and get going. In the few weeks I've been learning Angular, I've already built two CRUD apps and a pretty sophisticated navigation with it.

It just feels like a full fledged framework, as opposed to just a useful library.
