Specifically, the following four features are very important to me: UI Bindings - I’m not just talking about templates, I’m talking about a declarative approach to automatically updating the view layer when the underlying model changes. Once you have used a framework (such as Flex) that supports UI bindings, you can never go back. Composed Views - Like all software developers, I enjoy creating modular reusable code. For this reason, when programming UI, I would like to be able to compose views (preferably at the template layer). This should also entail the potential for a rich view component hierarchy. An example of this would be a reusable pagination widget. Web Presentation Layer - We are programming for the web here people, the last thing I want are native-style widgets. There is also no reason for a web framework to create it’s own layout manager. HTML and CSS are already the richest way to do style and layout in existence, and should be used as such. The framework should be centered around this concept. Plays Nicely With Others - Let’s face it, jQuery is pretty amazing. I don’t want a framework which comes bundled with a sub-par jQuery clone, I want a framework which recommends using jQuery itself.

An authentication service confirms the identity of a user or a client application.

OpenAM is most frequently used to protect web-accessible resources. Users browse to a protected web application page. An agent installed on the server with the web application redirects the user to OpenAM for access management. OpenAM determines who the user is, and whether the user has the right to access the protected page. OpenAM then redirects the user back to the protected page, with authorization credentials that can be verified by the agent. The agent allows OpenAM authorized users access the page.

No masters. For Ansible this meant using ansible-playbook locally, and for Salt this meant using salt-call locally. Using a master for configuration management adds an unnecessary point of failure and sacrifices performance.
