Hey thanks for reaching out.

Re: inputs as observables: Yeah I've followed the Github issues and while I get the arguments, it still seems weird that the value prop of Angular seems to be "batteries included", that the batteries then disagree with eachother.

I totally get that you have two camps of people using the framework, but right now it feels like the state Angular is in, leaves both camps satisfied. The people who like RxJs can't utilize it fully, and the people who don't still have to deal with it.

Re: forms: It makes sense that the forms are hard to type without breaking stuff. Stuff being third-party is probably one of the reasons the React eco-system has been able to move faster, but also with more breakage. That's probably just a consequence of the different ways to govern the project.

Re: fragments/host elements: There's a two year old issue here with 200 or so upvotes: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/18877 I'll admit that this is probably not the biggest issue - I've only encountered it because I wanted to have sub-components within tables and that can mess up the formatting.

Re: input/output model: It probably makes sense that you haven't heard too much about it. It's probably not something you'd necessarily think about if you just developed angular and haven't tried other composition models.
