Angular

Pros:

  • Was once on par with Muhammad Ali in popularity and strength
  • Version 2 broke out of taking Javascript hostage
  • Made Component creation easy
  • Refined continually
  • TypeScript friendly

Cons:

  • Like Mohammed Ali became old
  • Best developers left
  • Slow to make deep required changes. They implemented many things now native in Javascript but didn't obsolete them. Their framework now clashes with current Javascript standards, such as 'modules'
  • Heavy weight with steep learning curve
  • Error messages are terrible
  • Their migration paths are bad.
