A critical opinion piece examining the state of Angular in 2020, covering team management issues including high churn, burnout, and reported toxic culture. The author details ecosystem problems: TSLint deprecation without ESLint migration, Angular Material rewrite breaking tests, unfinished Ivy Instruction Set for library authors, neglected packages like Angular Elements and Protractor, and Zone.js limitations blocking ES2018 output. The piece also highlights nearly 5,000 open GitHub issues across core repos (more than double React, Svelte, and Vue combined), ~1,000 unresolved PRs, and the absence of a public roadmap for highly demanded features like strongly typed reactive forms and zoneless applications.
