Do not use stand-alone controllers

[nicklasb]

When programming using Angular, it feels natural to use ng-controller, and looking around, there are a huge number of projects that use it to a huge extent. (myself included)

However, ng-controller is going away in Angular2, and second, is it arguably bad design.

So do not use it.

Instead, use directives and specify the controllers there. And preferrably, use isolate scopes.
