Rob is a brilliant guy. We've used his WPF/Silverlight mvvm framework for years. Our consulting company uses durandal.js for current projects. It looks like Durandal v2 is now called Aurelia. I have high hopes for it, he knows how to write a framework.
I'm not sure why he is comparing knockout to angular. Angular is an entire framework and knockout is a small piece for binding. Seems like Durandal vs Angular would be a better comparison.
I just finished a large project with Durandal that went great. I fell in love with it. I'm eager to try Angular on the next one to see how they stack up.
Many window users faced Silverlight quality issues themselves due to their .Net frameworks not being up to date. For the best performance, they needed to download the .Net 4.0 SDK in Windows, which is something the average Netflix customer would not be willing to do.
Silverlight doesn't require the .Net framework on the machine. Not sure what performance issues he is talking about but Silverlight has better streaming features and performance than flash or html5.
