Big changes that come so sudden are disasters in the real world where people don’t adopt new things a lightning speed or for free.

If you spend money upgrading your employees from whatever mvc to angular1 and then have to do the same thing a few years later, you’ll be pissed.

If you have to take time out to learn a new framework every two years, just because. You’d be pissed.

And you have to keep in mind that angular was meant for ebpnterprise, not young indies who change their frameworks more often than I change my pants, so that made it extra terrible. I mean, there is a reason COBOL is still a thing, enterprise doesn’t like change.

I guess you could have kept going with angular1, but how would you hire for something that only lived s few years? Nobody knows it.

I think Microsoft is in danger of going this route as well with all the changes they are doing to .net though, so it’s a general trend these days, by my god, it sucks.
