"just do it" JavaScript (or any programming language for that matter) cannot be learned by just reading. One must actually write with the language to get used to the language, as well as gain muscle memory for the syntax. Do somet

This is the wrong way of thinking. Angular allows you to be flexible by not strongly enforcing a convention, a convention that may not fit your needs technically. If you find Angular terrible, then it doesn't fit your needs . Move on
