I disagree. I very like how the learning curve of angular follows my simple to complex application features. What I mean is that it's very easy to get started and hack you way through something that work, even if it's not 100% angular best practices. I.e. putting jquery code in your controller. As you become better and better, you start to have a better understanding of how angular works and your code improves similarly. I think this is an amazing quality for a framework. It reminds me how fun it was with jquery to get started even if the code was terrible, and then improve from it as you learn. For a newcomer to an angular project, they can simply read the html and have a pretty damn good idea of what's happening. You don't have to start writing directives and play with transclusion right away.
