Angular is a huge framework with a very OO style written by java devs. You have to learn many things to be productive with it, including a really weird string templating language. The most funny thing probably is the typescript sale pitch (I use and like typescript) where you actually don't beneficiate from typescript at all with half of angular (string templates means no type checking or intelliSense on component names, model properties, component apis, etc) It's also pretty fat and not exactly performant. It's simply a no-no on mobile. Its niche use case seems to be backend developers who know OO well, FP not so much, developing low/average quality back-office apps quickly without having to care about what's going on behind the scene. The angular core devs always favor magic and shortcuts over simplicity. Its API surface is enormous, so have fun keeping up with the versions. It's optimized to get started quickly and be decently productive as long as you only use the core directives. It's not terrible, but it's just not good if you care about the UX and maintainability of your app.
