Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Compact
~15kb minified and gzipped, no dependency.
Pro Powerful
Two Way Data-Binding, Templates, Directives, Text directives, Static bindings, Invisible mode and more.
Pro Great tooling and language support
Very good CLI and webpack, bundling, testing, deployment support. Deep TypeScript integration and support.
Cons
Con Doesn't have many things that Angular has
Angular light doesn't have things like directives, services, factories, router etc... built in.
Con Slightly over-engineered
Very enterprisey - made for huge architectures and with tons of declarative, non-intuitive annotations it makes it overkill for very small projects.
Con Native i18n support over-engineered
Not developer-friendly. Switching languages need reloading the whole page. There are third party solutions that work better.
