The author is concerned about the future of Angular because of the idiosyncrasies of one method of including dependencies. I mean, really? Is it so bad, the stench of automatic dependency injection, it overcomes all other beneficial features of Angular, it would jeopardise it's future as a web framework, such that it would lose compatibility with future browsers and your web app built in angular will stop working, with no support available? IMO it's a bit hyperbolic to suggest this is the case.

no. i was worried about the fact that people weren't questioning the logic of it, and that once this kind of magic takes hold ... it's really hard to take it out again.

Nobody said anything about future browsers and losing compatibility.

I do think that if this kind of thing grows, the system will become complex enough that developers will move to different frameworks that do similar things but don't have all this magic and baggage.
