    "Silently fail with no warnings" is like the angular 
     motto... At least in Angular 1 if something failed
     usually angular would just show an empty string on
     the screen.

not true, while still developing the angularjs 1 app in my company it actually prints either a useful error or a cryptic long stacktraces error.

But basically it still is a awful framework, still working on the replacement.
