Can you point to some example that are a bit more complex in nature? My issue (that I identified with the backbone tutorials and re affirmed with the Angular tutorials) is that simple apps are easy to do with x, y or z. But if the new one or that one is going to replace the old one there should be 37 signals level complexity type apps out there. While I can't speak for Meteor, I don't see anything running on angular that's at that level.

Caveats: I glossed over the fact that angular is not a full stack, I have seen a few angular videos where teams have demoed and presented on complex angular apps.

podio.com is a pretty large enterprise app based on a Rails+Backbone stack. Their approach is to have multiple Backbone Apps (dashboard, contacts, tasks, calendar) for different modules. So if you switch modules you have page refresh and from there its a Backbone App...i like that approach and their app is pretty awesome.
napster.fm is a fairly non-trivial Angular application; Angular was pretty fantastic to work with.
