I can definitely relate. I started using Angularjs around version 1.1 and remember being completely flummoxed at the error "Unknown provider: $providerProvider <- $provider". Debugging that left such bad taste in my mouth that I probably will never try Angular. Angularjs did get better after 1.5 (when they added components and one-way binding), but IMO the model is still fundamentally broken. Vue fits my mental model much better and is much better documented; if I were to start a new project today, that's probably what I would reach for.
