Back when I was learning AngularJS (the 1.x days) I spent what felt like hours staring at some code wondering why the hell it wasn't working. I eventually realized I had a typo in a template that was all too easy to overlook. Since there wasn't any tooling to catch it, it behaved like an html attribute and did nothing. I seriously don't know that I would want to go back to such an anemic dev experience unless it is for a toy project.

Preact / React + TypeScript largely does away with this. For most of my projects, fixing the compiler errors means the UI largely works (other than plain logic errors). I did AngularJS, too, and it's a totally different, terrible ballgame. I recommend giving Preact a try.
