I think AngularJS is too much effort to build the simplest things. I don't even see the benefit at all. I build all of my javascript apps (I hate using the word front-end apps) using jQuery and Flask backend. I don't even use asynchronous . I just don't see the point.

What's missing from jQuery that limits you but does not in AngularJS?

What's missing from Flask that limits you but does not in Node.js?
