While the author makes some fair point about angular's weirdness. He fails to understand that many design choices where made because javascript and js libraries were not as advanced as today. For example the module system is made so because at the time, amd, browserify and ES6 modules were not ready. And the main point of angular 2 is not to remake angular because it was weird, it is to adapt it to new technologies.
