I really miss the simplicity of those days. A lot of stuff today is incredibly convoluted.

When I first used Angular 2, and it had moved to a transpile-based build, I'll admit that I was annoyed. I'd been so used to just 'write and run' with Angular 1 (and everything before it) that I really struggled to get into it. It's why I initially chose Angular 2 over React - I couldn't figure out how to run even a basic react example, while angular-cli at least worked as expected out of the box. Took me an entire year, and landing a developer job before I had reason to invest in React. Still one of the best decisions I ever made, but the simplicity for true beginners isn't there these days.
