There's still quite a lot of people doing Angular 1.x though, so at least the train isn't that fast.

I sorta agree with you. I personally like JS and really like Node. Node can actually be pretty simple and fun to mess around with and experiment. I know HN likes to hate on it, but I have fun with it.

Frontend apps always end up seeming like a mess to me especially when suing the latest "best practices" for "maintainability" (ironic as most web apps are abandoned after a couple of years). Unfortunately JS being the only language I'm productive in sorta means I'll be doing some sort of frontend for a while.
