(sorry if this comes off a bit snarky) "Overuse of the eventing system ($watch, $emit, $broadcast) leading to performance problems and memory leaks and not realizing it or being able to debug it" Blindly overusing most features in frameworks or libraries can cause performance problems. Which memory leaks? "Writing Controllers and Directives that take dependencies which make them nearly impossible to test." Doesn't dependencies in general make any code harder to test? "Views that are heavily dosed with logic - but more on that later" I certainly don't feel my views are dosed with logic? Which kind of 'logic' are you referring to here? Is there something preventing you from moving your logic outside of the view? "Their first experience of DI is quite often that in Angular and it's horribly broken. Since the "patch" which fixed the minification issues, it's still really just a square peg in a round hole with woeful support for scope and lifetime and features which most DI gives you for free such as child containers. They end up hating DI and shy away from it on other projects." This seems like wild speculation here, as well as not being very specific (how is it broken?). I'm sure DI in Angular could have been done in a more elegant way (I have no idea how), but I don't seem to run into any problems. "Strange bugs that (when called over) have us all scratching our heads until one of use realizes - oh yeah, sorry we forgot to mention that pretty much everything passed around is global, and Directives etc. aren't namespaced, so I see what's happened - you've got a naming collision there" Not sure what to respond here - you had a bug in your code and discovered it was due to naming collision. Do you run into this daily? I've run into 'strange bugs' or at least hard-to-diagnose bugs in almost every framework or library I've used. None of these issues seem especially unique to Angular. I'm not saying Angular is a perfect framework, but my own experience have been mostly pleasant, and I don't feel that there is anything in particular in Angular vs. other frameworks or libraries that encourage bad behavior - juniors or seniors.
