A comment on AngularJS is amazing, and hard as hell.

Angular reminds me a lot of enterprise java. Lots of its own conventions, inversion of control and lots of magic.

That being said, I love working with it. It's definitely cumbersome feeling at times though. Despite that, I like the idea of self contained modules, the html binding, and all of the semantics that go with it.

It's definitely an acquired taste though. There are many things that you can do with it that you probably can't take to other javascript frameworks though.

This is the impression I had as well. With all the factories and services and dependency injection.

Yeah it's similar to some Java technologies, especially Spring or Guice.

Ironically why I like it, as bloated and silly as the technologies are, it's what I cut my teeth on (let's just say my first boss was a former IBM guy)
