I was hoping this would cover:
1. Angular.js vs Backbone.js from experience of their differences
2. Angular.js with Require.js (I already know about Backbone.js AMD architecture)
Has anyone done a large project in both Backbone.js and Angular.js?

As for Backbone.js by itself... It's OK, I liked it but we had a large project with as many has half a dozen people working on it at its peak and the problem we got into was all of the huge gaps in Backbone.js that you typically fill with other software (two-way binding, validation, templating, AMD, etc.) and if you don't figure out your solutions for all of those gaps before you start every developer in the group ends up filling it his or her own way. Especially if you're under a time crunch and writing really fast.
We ended up with a working project at the end and it was way faster than their old solution but it was a chimera. Every part of it appeared to be a different animal. With AngularJS a lot more of those parts are part of the framework itself and there's less room for that kind of problem. I'm using it for large project work now and liking it a great deal more.
Also, I didn't mean one project using both Angular and Backbone.

I had meant to do the same with Ember.js as well but AngularJS did the job so well that I decided to just go with it. So possibly Ember.js is even better. I don't know. But I can say we haven't really regretted AngularJS yet.
