The DOM was filled with things like “ng-click” which reminded me of the spaghetti age of HTML and Javascript.

This was actually my biggest complaint, and still is even after learning to use Angular and Backbone. It always feels like I'm conflating view rendering with data binding, when in my mind those are two separate concerns. Lately I've been playing around with Facebook's React, which feels a lot more like traditional view rendering (but in a refreshing way).

Reactjs is very interesting as well. The thing that looks weird there is the HTML inside the JavaScript code.

Handlebars does the same thing with it's "templates". A little irritating when I don't get HTML syntax highlighting since it's in the script tag. I'm sure there's a sublime plugin out there somewhere to fix that.
