Who said anything about jQuery or Backbone? About the complexity part, I am referring to the number of concepts one must be familiar with in order to produce a working Angular app. I mean read TFA: part of it breaks down the three varieties of directives you need to know in order to do a thing. And it's all like this, just a constant array of made-up concepts you have to digest in order to make something happen in the DOM. It's such a pain in the butt, and you constantly keep running into it -- whenever you need to output a URL to the view, you get to go hunting for the docs for $sce and figure out your exact use case just so you can spit out the damn URL. |

Well, if you're not using jQuery or Backbone at the very least to build SPA's, then that just adds weight to my argument.

I agree wholeheartedly that Angular has far too many bizarrely named concepts (transclusion being the worst offender), but if you don't put pressure on yourself to learn a framework inside-out in order to use it then you can save yourself a lot of initial pain. Simply using Angular's templating and two-way binding system and nothing more (no directives, services, etc) saves you from having to write an incredible amount of boilerplate DOM manipulation code. As you start to learn more about the different features Angular offers you will agree that most of them were necessary evolutions of the framework. Because it evolved over time, it has become a bit bloated as frameworks often do so the rewrite should be a welcome change.

This is a built in security measure that you can easily override by providing a blacklist of URLs. Unless you're keen on coming up with your own sanitization logic, $sce is a very nice feature.
