I agree with that. I felt that the question really asked what frontend boring framework would I choose, but you are right. I try to avoid having to put up Angular or anything big on the frontend and just scrape by with jQuery. However, when the interactions are supposed to be "rich" and have a lot of animations, drag/dropping, complex forms that validate on the fly, etc etc...things can get really complex. Then you're back to the old dilemma: you are either going to introduce a full-fledged framework, or write one yourself. In those situations, I pick Angular. - Angular 2 also looks fine, but that defeats the question which asked about "boring", stable frameworks
