I personally prefer components to be small and dumb and absolutely do not bother having a lot of them. A components in Angular is merely a class, annotated with some meta-data. So all object oriented design principles and rules can and should be applied.

Components which do too much and which deal with multiple layers of abstractions have in my experience often turned out to be a lot more problematic than small ones. Even if the latter come at the - in my opinion negligible - cost of writing a little bit more of boiler plate code (which mostly concentrates in your NgModules).
