Angular is popular enough that someone who could distill a reasonable set of concepts and practices for working with it could probably reap some significant rewards in the education/training marketplace.

But if proper error handling, sane state management, and keeping codepaths short are actually "very difficult with Angular," maybe it's not the comprehension powers of the developers using it that are falling short.

A framework should be actively making those things easy.

That is correct, Angular leaves a lot to be desired. The tooling is just not there and the developer is usually left to do due diligence on their own.

React/JSX and TypeScript are a response to this and it's fair bit more pleasant when either of them are involved.
