100% agreed. Working now on angular app at work (not my choice) I see state flying everywhere which will inevitably lead to something awful. The argument to push it back into a main controller and let it flow downward only seems completely unrealistic if not impossible and the api certainly doesn't encourage it at all.

Meanwhile in Clojurescript I have undo functionality without thinking about it - mind blowing because it's something I never expected to see in a web app without much pain.
