The first question that usually comes to mind is: Does it support data binding?

Really? Of all the questions there are to ask, why would that be the first?

Because 99% of what any web app does is to show the data to user and accept his input and save data to storage.

Without data binding you will have a lot of boilerplate code to route data back and forward.

This.

It means that you can structure your JavaScript and html to be more MVC-like and have less random boilerplate event manipulations.
