On: Backbone has made me a better programmer

[nahname]

Could you be more specific? What was Backbone not doing that Angular does?

[hasenj → nahname]

Nested views and automatic view updates.

How would you display a list of items in backbone? What do you do when an element is removed/added?

How do you update a view when an element changes?

It's a lot of grunt manual repetitive work.

In Knockout and Angular, it's all automatic.

Related: forms.

Collections

>How do you update a view when an element changes?

Model/View binding.

I didn't think it was bad and the only issue I had was when your views broke the hierarchical nesting. I see no solutions to that problem in Angular. Was curious if your problem was something similar.
