Javascript Framework Popularity

With the growing popularity of JS Frameworks, and the dizzying array of choices for developers, I thought others might like to know a little more information about some of their options. So, I've put together a little chart, showing the number of watchers, forks, and open issues for a handful of JS MVC's using the Github API.

Enjoy...

If you're serious about researching the differences between the various frameworks, I'd recommend first reading  Gordon Hempton's article... 

http://codebrief.com/2012/01/the... 

where he dives a little bit into what the various frameworks have to offer, along with a few pros and cons for each. The second thing I'd do is check out Addy Osmani's site...

where he writes the same application using a variety of frameworks.

According to Github, Backbone is really kicking ass, but I'm hoping to see Angular gain more ground.
