angular changes

I'm not anti-frameworks any more, but a buddy twittered me Have the Angular Team lost their marbles? outlining some changes coming down the pike, especially in "html plus extra bits" area, stuff like

<input type="text" [value]="newTodoTitle">
 <button (click)="addTodo()">+</button>

I really wonder about making such radical changes in syntax. (On the other hand, looking at Ember.js, I kind of liked that their templating takes the stuff out of the tags, and just uses the handlebars as a "this is out of band" marker, whether it's templating or logical structure.) Still, angular doesn't seem like a great choice if you wanted a stable platform going into the future. But it sure is popular in these parts.
