14 pages for a cheatsheet!

The ones for emacs/vim are 1 page only, I guess we have a measure of the complication of angular now.

I wouldn't call this a cheatsheet in the same sense of the emacs/vims ones which list mostly keyboard mapping shortcuts. This is more of an abbreviated overview of the framework, complete with sample code demonstrating the patterns.

That's what I thought. At which point do they stop being cheat sheets and start been books?

Give us a fn break, did you actually read the pdf? that's not a cheatsheet, more like collection of recipes.

Apples and Oranges

AngularJS isn't rocket science. But maybe we don't have the same definition complexity , which makes sense if you are a skiddie.

You are right, I should not compare apple and orange: you can edit text, play soduku, do syntax highlighting easily, search/replace with regexp in vim, while in angular JS you can only do slow, unusable data bindings. So comparing the 14pages of angular sheet is way too much of a disgrace for vim or emacs.

Btw, I use kate that need NO cheatsheets, because mastering an editor does not make me a better coder...

EDIT: ok I also use vim, emacs, joe, nano, ultraedit, gedit, visualstudio, netbeans, eclipse, nvi, simpletext, texmate, sublime ... whatever the guy paying me want me to use even if it is stupid.
