here here, being involved with porting a huge angular 1 project to the first angular2 RCs (golden dev choice) was the worst frontend project i ever witnessed in my not short career :-)

I'm working with a large Angular app, and my dev experience has been abysmal. TS language server running out of memory, Angular language server frequently crashes or freezes leaving weird half line diagnostics in its wake. Go to definitions are so slow in the proje too.

I've worked on 2x, if not 3x larger React codebase without these issues. I can't tell a single instance where language tooling was failing me so severely that I've contemplated turning it off because it's creating more uncertainty than its helping.

I'm relatively new to Angular 20 itself—only used Angular 1, and also migrated that project to React. So I'm not yet qualified to make big statements about it (but a preliminary gut feeling is that it often feels complex in the wrong places). C'est la vie though

    i wasn't on the project for the entirety, but i certainly remember the new ng tooling getting heavier and heavier. once the apis settled down a bit people really started cranking uis out though
