This discussion about what contributors got/didn't get is completely off - Angular was conceived at a time when a lot of what we have today in standards and better practices weren't here. To a large degree, Angular popularized many of them in frontend development, or at the least highlighted a need for a more standardized solution.

Angular has a lot of strong & smart contributors. Angular also grew more organically, and broke a lot of new ground. That says nothing about what contributors got/did not get. To equate the two requires a false assumption.
