Most likely will get bashed for it, but.. I absolutely love Angular 1. Productivity is through the roof for me. (caveat, I build small dashboards/automation/tooling frontends). And no fancy build process, sometimes I just work off 2 files (1 HTML, 1 JS)

I am working on a product with multiple engineers and we adopted Reactiflux + SPA + Node + a bunch of fancy tools.
While I love that stack, it took me a while to realize that for most of my side projects, building alone a prototype with all those things is killing my productivity. A messy Rails api with angular1 or even Rails + ERB are way quicker.
Letting go best/latest practices and go for the the non-fancy (and sometimes a bit dirty) way is harder than it seems.
