After working with Angular 1.x for four years in the beginning of my career, I have very little appetite for Angular. And a detailed tutorial is only half the battle IMO.

The last time I attempted to use Angular 2, which was around 2016-2018 (don't remember the exact date) I just couldn't wrap my head around the new mental model: it wasn't Angular 1.x, but it also wasn't React. It used TypeScript and TypeScript decorators, and to me that seemed really heavy handed. I also wasn't used to the mental model of "use the CLI to scaffold files" such as models and controllers, and all of that really turned me off.

Nowadays things look a bit different. TypeScript has significantly improved and it really is a pleasure to work with. I'm also open to different kinds of coding styles, so maybe I'll give it a shot. But honestly? React is ubiquitous at this point. And Remix and Next.js are far more interesting to me than Angular.
