I'd say that this is a matter of personal taste. After having worked extensively with both, I still can't get used the JSX-way of doing interpolation or conditionals and find the infamous Angular style template easier to reason about and work with.

Having said that, you might be interested to know that there's an official Babel plugin that lets you write your Vue templates with JSX: https://github.com/vuejs/babel-plugin-transform-vue-jsx

Fair enough, you seem to have contributed quite a bit to the framework after all [1]. However, don't you think they have gotten better with triaging as of late?

Also, I'm wondering, does your criticism still apply to the latest versions of Laravel or does it stem from frustrations with the pre-5.0 versions? Regarding your comments about the lack of interfaces, it's worth mentioning that at least the core components do have an interface now [2].

The Laravel framework [1]. It makes the most of the latest features available in PHP (reflection, traits, namespacing, etc.) and its author, Taylor Otwell, has an almost obsessive attitude with the naming of methods and formatting of the source code. For instance, every multiline comment is exactly three lines long, and every line is three characters shorter than the previous one [2].

I don't know if you have already come across it, but http://emberwatch.com is a great aggregator of all the resources on Ember in the wild.

Could you elaborate on the 'brickification' of your Galaxy Nexus? I've owned a Galaxy Nexus pretty much since it came out and, I have to say, it is as good as the day it came out.

Also – and I don't mean to sound like a fanboy – I personally think that Google Maps and Gmail even better than they were two years ago. At which point did they start to suck in your opinion?
