I don’t like the separation between template and code, I don’t like the developer experience (slow and often malfunctioning VS Code extensions and slow builds, bad in-browser debug helpers), I don’t like how creating “ad-hoc” components is basically impossible. I think Zone.js is insane. I know Angular very well. That’s why I’m confident I can create high-performance applications using Angular. I firmly believe Angular has far too many pitfalls for inexperienced developers. So yeah, I hate Angular.

`Angular Language Service` is the only domain specific extension I've ever needed and its never been an issue. The template separation, as well as (s)css, I like organizationally compared to the chaos you end up in with large jsx-styled applications.

If you can't hate on your major dependencies confidently and at length, you probably haven't used them long enough yet. I generally spend much of my day writing perl. It absolutely works for me, but every time I encounter somebody who wants to -attack- perl I find myself disappointed by how short their list of reasons to hate it is compared to my own. (one of the most complicated JS codebases I work with on a regular basis is in angular, and the learning curve is a fucking cliff but yeah, once you get to the top, I agree with everything you've said about it)
