I agree that angular is difficult and docs poor. I think knockout has great docs and is easy to learn. But google trend both and clearly angular is winning and probably has won the mvc js battle. It defies logic but there it is.

50% of your article was about how jquery was superior and simpler than prototype and moo tools. It may have been superior but it's nonsense to say it was simpler. I used prototype alot and it was simpler. To grab a div you simply:

$("mydiv")

not:

$("#mydiv")

So much more elegant than jquery!

Prototype comes from a js perspective whilst jquery seems to come from a css perspective. So I think prototype is better for traditional developers and jquery for web designers.
