In general I would agree, but this project managed to avoid the main gotcha of AngularJS (the performance issues & the possibly messy data-flow), so it was holding out suprisingly strong, even pas the maintenance date of AngularJS.

The lack of pre-processing steps, combined with good CSS and a well-formed DOM made it one of the rare project in my work history that didn't create any rewrite-envy.

AngularJS or not, the main point is that avoiding piling layers of tooling that might force you to an upgrade for purely technical reasons was a nice experience.
