AngularJS (not Angular) was a bad abstraction. Many years later, we can all see it. It's so bad that the core members abandoned it to create Angular - which, many still dislike in the front-end community, but it's actually a very competent project. My gripe is about including bike-shedded "everyone's using it anyway" dependencies in any project. I wouldn't want this author including Styled Components or SASS or Less either!
So no, I was not wrong at all in 2013 when I called out AngularJS for being a bad abstraction. The amount of hate and downvotes I got back then is just like what I get when I say, "tailwind is a bad idea and I think we'll all see that in a couple of years." Nothing to do with "shiny stuff". I think it's more like, "I'm old enough to have seen this show play out a few times"
