Honestly I'm not sure if there even is a big reason.

The terminology doesn't feel right - I feel like I need to constantly remind myself what some of the terms mean compared to what I am used to, which I find occupies a tremendous amount of my cognitive capacity.

"The tutorials are shit" doesn't help. They really suffer from the problem of the author expects the reader(s) to know what it is they are being taught ahead of time. "Tutorial 1: how to make a component. Step 1: Run `ng component <name>`. Now you have a component." type deal. Now I'm left to my own devices to find out what a component really is, etc.

Another part is that it just isn't very exciting. I was/am more excited when using react or vue.

I've been maintaining angular apps (albeit lightly) for nearly 2 years at my current role, but even here react is being introduced to replace it.
