This seems to be the summary of every tech flame war ever, and applies rather well here: A: I've used tech X in a lot of Y contexts, and I find it's not great.

This seems to be the summary of every tech flame war ever, and applies rather well here: A: I've used tech X in a lot of Y contexts, and I find it's not great. I will generalise slightly imply that tech X is not the panacea that it has been presented as. B: Yeah? Well, I've used tech X in a lot of Z contexts, and I find it works fine! You're wrong! You're using it wrong! Maybe you're not wrong in context Y, but for most other contexts X is still the best tech! C: I haven't used tech X at all, but here's my opinion on it anyway.

Yes, nothing new here. "This technology contains trade offs and is complex at times." Oh, you don't say?

After T amount of time with technology X, I've discovered it to be imperfect. Furthermore, I've found that it either let me shoot myself in the foot, or would not let me shoot wherever I wanted.

I agree, the article is very generic. It would be more helpful if its something, like I've tried to do this and it didn't work well, make it concrete. Some of these very high level statements could be made on any technology.

I never understand an article that is only negative and never presents a viable alternative. OK - So you think Angular is not good for "professional" work. Then what is? Present an alternative and compare and contrast them. Then we will tear it up and come to our own conclusions like the ruthless masses that we are.

Amen. Look back 10 years ago and we were having the exact same discussions about mod_perl, php, and java servlets. Nothing has really changed except perhaps for an increase in the number of regurgitated comparisons.

  Except that php won. As weird as that seems. CGI.pm was removed from the core Perl distro this year. React learned a lot from php/xhp and is easier to use because of it.

This is spot on.
