Javascript SPA applications get less respect from business owners than they deserve.

People see JS and throw their JQuery & some CSS developers at it. Or they use their backend PHP devs who've never written code that runs for longer than one request.

Either way you end up with code written by people who don't understand some of the fundamentals of UI programming.

Angular gets the worst of it because it's the most popular framework. It's exacerbated by the fact that Angular doesn't offer suggestions for a lot of common problems.

Angular is probably the bees knees if you are a Google employee but it makes little sense for anyone outside to bet the farm on it.
