Sep 2, 2015 at 16:44 comment added pchittum An app built with lightning components isn't really an app without access to Salesforce data, that's true. But a single component can be large or small. And there is opportunity for SOC in a single component, particularly in smaller discreet components. Perhaps your definition of SOC is a bit too narrow? But you're welcome to disagree. :-)
Aug 30, 2015 at 16:29 comment added altius_rup @Peter "Separation of Concerns" is a design pattern concept and term which supposes that the app clearly separates parts such as UI, controller/services, model/data, etc. Lightning Components do not separate the model/data from the rest : they are necessarily linked up to the Salesforce data model. They are precisely linked up with the Salesforce server data model : it is not possible to develop an offline mobile app with SmartSync from the SF Mobile SDK with Lightning Components. That is why I suggest Lightning Components do not adhere to the "Separation of Concerns" design pattern.

Made updates based on current state of implementation of Lightning Components.
Mar 4, 2015 at 16:05 comment added Adrian Larson I would add to this that you cannot create a Lightning Homepage Component. Score one more for VisualForce!
Feb 27, 2015 at 18:06 comment added Adrian Larson Ah yes, this is what I was looking for. All good answers but you offer the best response to my final question: "What types of problems are they worse at handling?" Thanks!
