Exactly, I was a bit undecided back in the day thinking React and Angular might be similarly valuable, and I don't remember if there was even Vue yet or not (I believe not yet). Angular had just split, and I had to help contracting for a company using Angular 1, and OH BOY the page was horizontal and most of the programming statements happened within those nightmarish ng-if, ng-repeat, ng-{please-kill-me-know}. I believe there were parts up to 350-400 columns wide.

That's exactly when I learned that same realization, and decided never to use (if I can avoid it) a programming environment that defines its own templating language.
