The problem is there's so much you need to know. Angular invented a custom feature with plenty of boilerplate for every task -- and if you want to do something that Angular doesn't explicitly support you'll end up fighting the framework very quickly.

Use things like Svelte. It's a framework that lets you hack. You don't need 'best practices'.

>It's a framework that lets you hack.

Translation: It's a framework that does less.

This isn't a bad thing if the things the framework does aren't terribly useful for what you want to accomplish.

why in the world would I want a framework that lets me hack?
