$scope.on || $scope.watch -> $ionicView.before/after?

I'm getting absolutely fed up with the unreliability of the $ionicView broadcasts. Is it a broadcast? Is it a value? What is it.

It seems like on every other page I have to switch from $scope.$on and $scope.$watch.

In one page, I have $scope.$on('$ionicView.beforeEnter') that's never called. On the same page $scope.$watch('$ionicView.beforeEnter') does get called. On another page, $scope.$on('$ionicView.beforeEnter') gets called, and the $scope.$watch doesn't. This is seriously annoying. I keep switching my whole app between $on and $watch and I never know which one to use.

The docs say to use $on but it isn't all rainbows and butterflies down here.
