Now that the Angular core team has taken the step of moving the core routing infrastructure out into a separate library, I'd like to take this opportunity to recommend the unofficially-official alternative: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/#ui-router
When I returned to the routing bits in my app, I picked up ui-router. It's such a nice library, I can't say enough good about it other than this: it should be in Angular core.
I most appreciate nested routes and the state handling; the integration with ng-animate is just butter. Thank you!

Yeah, the core team have promised us that they'll be evaluating it for inclusion in 2.0.
