I think the current JS code is quite horrible. It is inconsistent and has grown and been rewritten several times. I just recently submitted a PR that cleans up usage of the jquery fileupload library.
Fact is we are already using jQuery and it helps a lot with browser inconsistencies, animations and the fancy stuff. The AppTemplateAdvanced shows an example of how apps can use AngularJS. And I assume any apps not already using these two will slowly be ported to them. So with these two frameworks we already have a path for future development. The two together solve 80% of our problems and we can concentrate on solving the 20% left - which happen to be the interesting problems. Nothing is set in stone here. Whoever submits working code will be embraced, I guess. Happy coding!
