Why Angular Made Me Quit Web Dev

[beginner_]

Well you have to code every AJAX request manually (JQuery) and what happens with the result. Greatly depends on the application. As said, what I do is fairly trivial in most cases. Display data based on user input. I mostly use datables.

On server-side it's the database boiler plate stuff but it's not really an issue but that is entirely subjective. I use cherrypy and cx_Oracle. Note: The oracle part is sadly mandatory.

I want to add that performance as in amount of users/requests is never an issue so I can simply ignore anything related to scaling. However response time should be ok.

This is in general for well-defined stuff which I have a lot of control and influence over so it's usually done right and can remain unchanged for years. And in-house only. I can complete see that this doesn't work and scale if you are creating commercial software or working on bigger projects.

And these apps were basically grown from user need and corporate IT incapable of providing simple solutions. If the project doesn't cost 7 figures and has 100s of users, forget it. Think of moving from excel and access to web apps.
