Totally agree. I really don't get how anybody can take a look at the mess at https://angular.io/docs/js/latest/api/ and think to themselves, yep - that's for me! Our first version was done in Angular v1 and we bit the bullet and converted over to React and never looked back.

No more factories, or dependency injection, or crazy template language that is never quite expressive enough, and no more digest cycles to optimize.

ANY web developer is someone that once upon a time looked at an api that was a complete mess (javascript, dom, ...) and still said to himself - that's for me!

Update : absolutely not saying they wrong to think so. Building the right things is more important than building the things right.

Angular 2+ is very different than Angular 1.X. The single directional data flow removes the need for digest cycle tweaking. You only need services for data and components for rendering and business logic.

The benefit over react is how you don't need anything additional to manage your workflow. It's nice to set up a project and not need to glue together libraries.

The website seems like a mess. The title of linked page changes from `(v4.X.Y)` to `(v)` to `(v4.0.0)`. At the start it displays empty page shell, then fires two ajax request, each causing the page to redraw. This all could have just been statically generated web page.
