Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but it is just too elaborate a question for a chat room (you really need a forum :)).\r\n\r\nWe are still in the process of making a choice for our system's client-side application architecture and I am currently [reading a pretty good book about Angular](https://leanpub.com/web-component-development-with-angularjs/read). I noticed the comparison between Angular and Aurelia in the Aurelia docs and found the differences quite interesting and attractive. Aurelia just seems more logically built and more semantic (though I must admit, I am personally far from a JS expert). \r\n\r\nMy concern is more the business side though. What would be the motivational factors from a business standpoint to chose Aurelia over Angular? What are the conceptual differences, which would make anyone (especially us) want to use Aurelia more over Angular? Our project has a long way to go, but we love Aurelia's forward looking direction. What else is there, we should know about? We want to be able to build on the web components standard i.e. shadow DOM (hopefully of the future?). This is a must, as our system will be strongly widget based and we want widgets to be interchangeable among our customers too. With that in mind, we'd love to know how Aurelia will support that direction. \r\n\r\nThank you in advance for any input.\r\n\r\nScott\r\n\r\n "}}
