I have been working on an internal, form-heavy, app for a bank client for the past 6 months as my day job. I wouldn’t say I love Angular 2/4/5, but it does get the job done. Since Angular has a rather steep learning curve, having someone who has experience with it on the team will help avoid a lot of headaches and gotchas.

There are certainly some issues with Angular. For example, starting Webpack Dev Server is really slow (a minute or longer). Running a lot of tests with Kharma can be slow. If you know what the issues are and can either live with or work around them, then it is not that bad.
