I personally hate angular1 architecture(I did not tried the rest), some of my reasons are 1 instead of pure code you use markup like ng-repeat , ng-if , this causes weird bugs and weird errors and not clear scoping issue. I prefer the old react architecture(not sure if modern react is still sane) where instead of ng-repat item in items you could have pure JS code like items.foreach(renderItem(,,,)). It is a personal opinion but I prefer to see my code to run when I debug rather that my markup getting "compiled" under the hood and not seeing the actual code. 2 I dislike the error mesages, the stack traces are useless 3 the performance is terrible, it is super easy as a SPA grows to get too much updates triggering , this might have been solved with new versions and maybe a more component oriented architecture but still the way data binding and update cycles works is pure performance insanity. 4 sometimes shit does not work, maybe you have a typo and you get no warning, maybe there is some scope conflict, maybe you forgot to add some attribute, maybe the data-binding fails and you need to always apply "that workaround" but I wasted a lot of time on problems like "why is this element not updating", at least the devs could add some extra checks and warn when something is not right, I manage to write some code and add this extra checks but is not that well tested. This is personal opinion, angularjs is not targeted for developers like me, I worked with Qt, GTK, Windows Forms and WPF, I think i done a bit of MFC, Flex4, React , Swing and angular is the worst one for my personal taste. I thin Flex4, Qt and WPF are better architected and more powerfull, you can do simple and modareate things fast but you still have flexibility to do everything. With angular you can do Hello World fast, after that it is a pain, and a giant pain when you need to maintain a fea years old code base made by a newb angular dev team.
