I've noticed that the people that ridicule you for using stuff that works (like jQuery) are the same people that have trouble maintaining their own older code, because they'd much rather just start over.



With JQeury, you can reference one file and get going. With Angular, my frustration has been:

* SystemJS - I don't understand what's the problem a lot of the time

* TypeScript tsc deciding that Promise is not a known entity.

* People telling me not to use SystemJS because it's causing me all my problems.

* People telling me not to use Typescript because it's causing all my problems.

* Taking 3 days to switch to something not causing my problems.

* Technology x causing me another set of problems.
