Great thanks. My perception up until this comment was that Angular was more of a mini-tool for MVVM for use in little widgets, and not really able to be huge.

I wish it was advertised more what large projects using Angular and that they are actually architected completely with Angular.

I'm not sure what you mean by _really able to be huge_ -- a large single page app? a site with a huge number of pages? # lines of code? I don't think there are any hidden limitations in Angular proper -- in fact it will allow you to organize source for a "large" project very well, and will perform very well -- but you have to be careful with scope digests (i.e. don't try to "compile" a bazillion objects -- but that is mainly common sense)

A lot of articles I originally read/skimmed with Angular didn't really tout it's ability to organize large codebases... I got the impression is targeted toward smaller projects, whereas Backbone they market themselves in your face "we will clean up your large codebase".
