Angular has its fair share of problems. For example, issues can be left open for a very long time and the way Google requires the Angular team to ensure that the many, many, internal projects that use Angular do not break creates a lot of development overhead and slows the pace of development. I actually had a great conversation with a core Angular dev just today where he outlined the whys of some of the issues. The Angular development team, not including managers, developer relations, etc was described to me as “about half a dozen people”. It’s a very small team with a big task. I think that Angular+RxJs+NgRx is a great way to build apps. Once you really get the hang of it there’s nothing like structuring your app using DI+directives+Observables. I recently created a drop dead simple, performant, and insanely reusable, intersection observer directive constellation that’s easier to use than any other IO library I’ve seen to date. It was maybe a hundred lines in total. I submitted my first PR over the weekend. It’s easy to complain about Angular, but, I’d like to see more people who use it show up to help out. Yes, the corporate side of things slowing the community down is annoying.. But with enough external devs the process could evolve into something more decentralized. Maybe? Who knows unless you try.
