Angular: Just Say No

Angular: Just say no

A collection of articles by AngularJS veterans, sometimes even core committers, that explain in detail what's wrong with Angular 1.x, how Angular 2 isn't the future, and why you should avoid the entire thing at all costs unless you want to spend the next few years in hell.

Reason for this: I'm getting tired of having to explain to everyone, chief of which all the indiscriminate Google Kool-Aid™ drinkers, why I have never believed in Angular, why I think it'll publicly fail pretty soon now (a couple years), and why it's a dead end IMO. This gist serves as a quick target I can point people to in order not to have to parrot / compile the core of the articles below everytime. Their compounded reading pretty much captures 99% of my view on the topic.

Angular will be replaced. Thats for sure. Technologies like html-over-the-wire seems promissing. Htmx and Hyperscript are brand new. Let see what that brings. They are developed by guys that know Angular etc and are not happy with it.

Angular would have been dead if it wasn't for Google's infinite resources. The number of people using it are dropping like flies though.

Angular is alive and well thriving with powerful new features in the recent v15 release.
