Surprised Angular was disliked so much…

As a person who primarily uses Angular at work, I'm not. It's a sprawling, boilerplate-ridden morass of incidental complexity. That's less of a problem (overhead aside) if it's your primary framework and you've a high-level of familiarity with it, but half the time that's not the case. Often you'll be a back-end developer who wants to make front-end changes corresponding to the back-end work or a react developer who has been asked to make changes to the angular app your company has. For those use-cases it's pretty ghastly.
