- JustSomeNobody 12y agoWell, there's their problem... Edit: Ok, for the down voters. Angular is HUGE. And all that code has to get shoved onto the client side when someone visits a page. And that's JUST for the framework. We aren't even talking about the application code yet. More and more clients are mobile. Nobody sees a problem here? You're using more (precious) data, it's slower to load and slower to run. It's just a nasty little trend going on. NOW LET'S SEE SOME FREAKING DOWN VOTING!!!

- path411 12y agoI find a common theme among the people who freak out about 45-100kb of js are often the people with 3MB of images on their page.
