Hardly a library in the traditional sense. At best a libra-framework with tons of baggage added.

From their own project page: "AngularJS — Superheroic JavaScript MVW Framework" (empasis mine).

You have to code your logic inside its objects (controllers, directives, services, etc) -- that's not how a library works.



Also above the fold: "AngularJS is a toolset for building the framework most suited to your application development"...

Even internally they're insecure about it. I think library is a more useful definition because it encourages developers to think about architecture before they start building application specific stuff.
