One of the annoying sticking points with Angular for me has been that it really doesn't play nicely with jQuery or jQuery-derived components (like a lot of the awesome stuff in the jQuery-UI package).

Like, sure, I get it, I get it, you're a framework for doing all this high-brow enterprise single-page app stuff, you own the DOM, you have DI patterns for testability, yadda yadda yadda...why the hell is it so hard to use, say, flotr2 to draw charts with you?

Why does your documentation not show the (common!) example of wrapping working and existing jQuery (or AJAX, or whatever) libraries into directives/services in The One True Angular Way?

Sure, polymer and web components and all that happy horseshit will make things better--years from now. Some of us are trying to deliver functionality today. It's like the devs/community don't even acknowledge that this is a problem.
