Pretty much any conversation about AngularJS that gets stuck on "dirty checking" makes my eyes glaze over. As for "black magic" DI, if you're uncomfortable with a framework extending the basic language, it's perfectly possible to do DI explicitly in Angular 1.2. This is a project-level choice.

i was uncomfortable with the fact that it was being done in core, and I know from personal experience that it will only take a good enough reason to do something even dodgier with that type of thing.

my recommendation was that they remove it from core, and have it be opt-in through the use of ngmin.

they are actually removing it completely from angular 2.0, so it's a moot point really.

I also stated that I was fine with the dirty checking, because it worked better than it had any real right to. And best of all, it's only 'for now'
