[WSG] [Off-topic] AngularJS

Has anyone done much with AngularJS[1]? I'm currently evaluating it as a potential successor to a huge bespoke framework I wrote. The syntax feels a little convoluted at times, but my god does it absolutely blaze through DOM updates! [1]: http://www.angularjs.org/ -- *James Ducker* james.duc

How do people here feel about frames? Sometimes (not often) you might need an iframe, hidden or otherwise, to get around certain technical limitations, but there's no good reason to use framesets for layout, in my opinion. - James
