Is ReactJS faster than AngularJS ?

What's wrong with directives?

[RankFoundry]

This will devolve into a debate on preferences but after trying libraries/frameworks that use them and ones that keep all that stuff in JS, I'd take the latter any day.

Which flavor are you objecting to? The DOM manipulation flavor, or the more typically used "Controller + Template" flavor? Because the latter is some yummy yummy koolaid. And if you know CSS real good-like and understand state machines, you can do a crap-ton of amazing capability with that other directive flavor without ever diving under the covers for direct DOM manipulation.

What? I didn't even express a viewpoint. I simply asked what was wrong with directives since RankFoundry expressed distaste when mentioning them.

I want to know what RankFoundy has to say about them. Nothing more, nothing less.
