I think the documentation has been the biggest sore spot. With React there's a certain lifecycle and within a few minutes I understood what's happening. With AngularJS it feels like the lifecycle's explanation is spread out everywhere and the usefulness of some components isn't clearly explained.
This is why Rails and Django succeeded; amazing docs that walk your through step by step but also amazing reference docs in case you forget anything.
The Angular team's choice to use a custom doc framework shot themselves in their feet.

A custom doc framework could have been a boon, if they had put as much effort into it as is really needed. The problem is that they have a custom solution AND that custom solution doesn't meet their needs.
