I associate with this so much it hurts. I have wasted thousands of my employers dollars just waiting for this pile of shit to compile or run. If you like light, fast, opinion free UI tools, maybe give my module fastn a go: https://GitHub.com/korynunn/fastn

sarcasm at the end there? ditch a product that has a global community, built legit enterprise scale apps with, for a personal project found on github?

Working with anything new can be a humbling, frustrating experience. In some sense, this is the job of programming. (Why would you write the same code over and over again?)

That said, I’d be interested in hearing what kind of “first-time encounter” experience the author is looking for, and whether he’s found it in another tool. Barring that, at least some more specifics on the troublesome areas, something like bug reports, e.g.

“I expected one thing, but I actually got another. Here’s why that’s bad.”

Anyone out there who has experience that maybe isn't so bad? I am just about to take a job where I'll be ramping up on Angular 7. I'll be coming from React which has its own problems and complaints, but it's more of a love-hate thing with React (and a good amount of the former). This article has absolutely nothing nice to say about Angular. What have I gotten myself into??

the author's rant doesn't make him sound very intelligent. There isn't strength to any of his points, for anyone who has spent more than half-assed effort at trying to learn Angular.

Can you elaborate on one? I think I'm part of the not very intelligent crowd that actively dislike angular due to the points raised in the article.

Not the point of the article, but how exactly did the iPhone's utility flatline because they removed the headphone jack and how is a headphone jack a "vital" feature, considering the rise in popularity of blueetooth headphones and the fact that the iPhone ships with the 3.5mm dongle?

Why do you take to stock this random dude's rant? It's all just verbal diarrhea.

There are legit criticisms of Angular no doubt. This article is not that
