It's funny how everyone seems to hate "big frameworks" while at the same time complaining about how "everyone uses them". It's sort of like the Yogi Berra line: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."

I for one will go against the flow (or am I with the flow?) and say that what I see coming out of Angular 2 looks FANTASTIC. Many of the things I love as a Scala developer are finally becoming mainstream on the client side. Add in the promise of NativeScript (mobile apps) and Electron (desktop apps) and this is an incredible time to be a web developer.
