In my short time working with it, I found it frustrating to debug. Using an incorrect tag meant it would simply be ignored with no indication of why my thing doesn't work, and I found tracing issues back to their HTML tag to be annoying.

The equivalent React/Vue/etc would throw a Javascript exception. Stacktraces aren't the best debugging experience, but they're functional.

I also think Angular inherits from a more traditional UI lineage of composing styling on an element, which I find less clear than something like React that has a more backend-y development flow. That's just personal preference, but I started on the backend so Angular's "build an element and then wire it up" makes less sense to me than React's "figure out the data flow and then build elements on that" style.

I don't find it showstopping. I wouldn't turn down a job because they use Angular. If someone asked me what framework to use, I just probably wouldn't suggest Angular.

No. It will not even compile.
