What technologies complement this technology and can be used in tandem

How does it stand out from the crowd?

• Automatic refresh and the two-way data binding frees developers from the tedious work of explicitly triggering UI repaints
• Live DOM generated from HTML syntax is used as a templating language. More importantly, it is possible to extend an existing HTML vocabulary (by creating new directives), and then build UIs using a new HTML-based DSL
• Declarative approach to the UI results in a very concise and expressive way
• The excellent UI templating machinery doesn't put any constraints on the JavaScript code (for example, models and controllers can be created using plain, old JavaScript without the AngularJS APIs called all over the place)
