Personally, Angular broke me. We built an app that was just a table view basically, and it refreshed the data every minute or whatever. For users whose table got to be 100 or more rows, the performance was awful, and there was nothing we could do about it besides rewrite the whole thing a different way.

I still love JS, and coding for the web. But I don't use frameworks now.

No idea why you were downvoted. Maybe people percieved it as an implication of "I knew better 3 years ago", but it's not that.

It's hard to imagine someone working with Enterprise Java and thinking "This isn't helping. This isn't making things more reliable".

for the record. I meant "with Enterprise Java and not thinking..."
