I remember reading that Angular 2 thread and walking away disappointed with the baby-like, nonconstructive screaming. (disclaimer: I'm using NG2 and enjoy it).

This article has reminded me that there are people behind these projects, even the ones I don't like.

In general, even if you don't like some things about projects, it's worthwhile investing time to see if you can learn from it for down the road. I'm an expert in the Angular ecosystem, but I experiment with other frameworks to learn & get the most I can. The author of that terrible Angular 2 article didn't even try to understand the system he was working in.

As an open source maintainer (UI Bootstrap/ng-bootstrap)/contributor (Angular 1 & 2, Universal Angular, UI Router, Ionic, karma), I respect those who work on other projects, even if I disagree with approaches.

We need to have less holy wars and more constructive discussions instead, and demand more from fellow developers to foster this atmosphere. I've been guilty of using emotional language in the past, but time has led me to mature in this aspect - it would be nice to see everyone else make this jump as well and join us in making software better for all.
