I guess the key bit of the article is:

"These frameworks work well for highly interactive apps with complex user interface requirements. We only needed a small piece of what a full framework would offer."

As you say its a tradeoff...

But one of the nice things with Angular is that for small things you can get away with almost no code at all, small controllers that isn't really depending on each other for example. It is when you start on a larger system you have to think about splitting your app into services, controllers and templates/views and sending information between all those things.
