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.
