I think that a lot of the 'unfixable suckage' comes to exist by people not wanting to rewrite boilerplate code to achieve a seemingly simple task, so they import someone else's boilerplate (angular) and use it to achieve their ends quickly. The fact that multiple boilerplates don't all work well or that one doesn't work in every case is hardly surprising.

I'd be curious if the time tradeoff in the "Rewrite the whole goddamn app" bucket is smaller than the one in the "Churn out boilerplate code and maintain it yourself" bucket.
