Open Stack

That is a fact all client side development is based on javascript, Node allow us to easily execute javascript without a browser. Every time we will have a reflexion on the client side, Node will show up, what we are doing is just delaying something inevitable and wasting our forces in compromises. Node is not the best way, but it is the easiest one, what would we do next time, search another alternative in python, if it is buggy we will have to maintain it. You are right Node is currently fancy, but less is fancy, angular is fancy but they provides some ease and that is why we choose them.

While the Angular modules are testable in QUnit, it would be a boon to use the
testing patterns common with most Angular projects.  It would make new
developers, familiar with Angular but not Horizon, immediately familiar with the
workflow.

QUnit is acceptable, but karma/jasmine is preferable

To be clear, we're using a specific feature of Angular (the directive) to
introduce it into the existing Django templates; that's not the only feature of
Angular we're using. There are controllers & services behind the directive, but
using a directive is the cleanest way of integrating these features with the
existing templates.
