I get the feeling that this article author doesn't get it. I can't say quite what they are missing, but I have a nagging feeling that they are missing something very basic.

I find it quite easy to add a small feature to the existing angular app. And it's modular so the app's complexity isn't snowballing. And the new feature is covered by unit tests. Could you say the same for a jQuery app? If "yes", did it need heroic measures? This just falls out of the default angular app template. For the first time I feel that the client-side approaches the engineering rigour that we have on the server.

It's the opposite of the "spaghetti nightmare" mentioned. I'm sure you can tie yourself in knots of code with angular, but you can also avoid it.
