I've always respected the quirksmode blog, but this article is pure FUD. Many of the criticisms are general to thick client web apps: "I feel that Angular’s fundamental proposition blurs the line between front end and back end." "Although templating is the correct solution, doing it in the browser is fundamentally wrong." Others are intentional ignorant. "Ouch. Thou shalt eat thy own dogfood." Google also makes GWT and Dart. Should they use all three on every product? The more resources you have and the more demanding your circumstances, the less any general purpose framework will make sense. "In other words, Angular requires you to spend a lot of time to teach yourself the Angular way of doing things." What part of this industry doesn't? Put the logic on the server and you're learning Rails, Flask, whatever instead. "Google will eventually stop supporting 1.x." Yes, years after they release 2.0. They've been very explicit about that and it's a better policy than most libraries have. I can't help but get the idea that the author just doesn't like the idea of doing things differently than he always has. Good luck with that.
