AngularJS and Knockout

I saw Paul Hammant (co-creator of Selenium) of ThoughtWorks speak on client-side MVC at an IEEE CS meeting held at Pervasive three days ago. His talk was high level and really ultimately only suggested that one pick either AngularJS made by Google peeps or Knockout.js made by Microsoft peeps for the task. Neither are verbose, with AngularJS even less wordy than Knockout, and both are certainly superior, in Paul's opinion, to Backbone.js which is verbose:

I sensed it made sense to pick AngularJS over Knockout, but Paul cautioned that ASP.NET teams will use Knockout given the Microsoft bias.
