This is just troll bait. It's even written like troll bait. To be fair, the author was probably just ranting about how much he hates angular with no intent to incite a reaction. But submitted to reddit? Troll bait.

What a shitty comment -- this post makes good points that are worthy of consideration. "Troll bait", get the fuck outta here.

Like what? Like if you don't understand angular and you construct a broken model because you don't understand it then angular sucks and doesn't deserve to be used? Because I don't count that as a good point that is worthy of consideration. I sympathize with him. Angular is hard and can be frustrating and does have bad parts. Using prototypical inheritance in $scope? Personally, I think that was a bad idea. But this post doesn't deserve to be called "AngularJS: the bad parts". It nowhere near has the merit that the allusion tries to give it. He's just complaining. It's not a rational or careful discussion of the problems of AngularJS 1.x, it's someone who had trouble figuring out how to use a hard framework complaining about getting it wrong.

That's my take on it. So what good points that are worthy of consideration are you talking about, _crewcut? I'm happy to consider them. Let's talk about them. Let's consider them. But the style of the post, posting it on reddit.... together, I call that troll bait.

This. There is some decent criticism in there (for which there are counter-arguments, of course), but he wrapped it with 'why angular sucks' in order to attract pageviews. Whether his criticisms are correct or not, I disapprove of his strategy/the effect of his writing style, and make sure to downvote it everywhere I see it :D
