Also jumping in. The biggest problems with Angular2+ is that they called it Angular, and had a terrible release. It's not Angular, it's a completely different framework. They rode their own hype train and it's made searching for tutorials, examples, libraries much more difficult. I was lucky in that we didn't start our project until after the true release happened, but having such a long alpha, beta, and release cand…

> They rode their own hype train This is my single biggest problem with Angular 2. It's not Angular, but in calling it "Angular 2," they effectively killed off a powerful framework which had a promising future, all while basically hamstringing Angular 2 from the start for (at least) the reasons you mentioned.

That's true. React itself is also clean and simple... but things tend to be more complicated in React, the ecosystem when you go to the SPA direction.

I sorta hate that React is so simple and the ecosystem is such a clusterf*ck. I wish they came out with a storage/persistence system as simple conceptually as the renderer. Maybe that's a lot to ask for though. React by itself gives me blue balls.
