Yeah when I first started learning Angular I had similar thoughts "Why did they make this so hard?!?!?!" regarding RxJS. To be fair regarding Typescript & ES2015, you'd get that with React too (since in my mind you;d be insane to start something new in raw Javascript these days when Typescript has made our lives so much so much so much better). Now though I find RxJS to be a really elegant mental model for dealing with asynchronous stuff. I wish there was more Reactive/Rx* stuff around in the things I work with. Its really nice.
