Kind of guessing though that a few dollars more will still not protect one from a broken neck.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That's some talent, and a whole lot of no fear.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

That can be done. No big deal.

So highly advanced even that after 24 years of HTML and who knows how many versions and framework after framework and the second full installment of Angular that is developed and supported by one of the biggest tech companies in the world with the first major update A FRIGGIN DATE INPUT STILL DOESN'T WORK!!!   
So I'm doing a simple web site using Angular 4.
The following just does not work.
<input type="date" [(ngModel)]="myDate" /> And in my TypeScript:
this.myDate = someInitialDate; This is pretty basic stuff if you ask me
I've been looking for a fix for over an hour, but I've come across sketchy solutions that seem to work until you enter some value manually.
It seems the only solution is to use some third party date input control.
If I knew how to import one using .NET Core, npm, WebPack, TypeScript and Angular imports...
Sounds easy, but it gets downloaded to node_modules/some_datepicker, but also needs node_modules/something_else, it's all in TypeScript, I need to move it using WebPack because node_modules isn't public, but WebPack makes bundles, so I'd lose my single file, which I need in the TypeScript import to register it in Angular... 
I miss WinForms!

Look at that: the tool chain that made me drop Angular like a bad habit.

Yeah, that's front-end development in 2017 I guess...

It's the noisiest part of it. I don't know, it's as if increasingly interdependent tool chains have become a status symbol of sorts. It's a pity, because Angular 1 is absolutely fantastic, as are a lot of the first generation frameworks that we've seen, but as they become an "industry standard" the developers begin losing their minds.
I'm beginning to suspect that this is happening because so much of the open source monetization strategy is rooted in training.

Angular! Say no more! To be fair most web stuff is crap... It's not their fault, developing interacting app on stuff that only render text almost like one want is not that easy...
Anyway try that: Vue.js you might be pleasantly surprised!

Yep, the best way to solve the internet issues is to focus on the next Framework.

Yeah, I've heard good things about Vue.js.
I actually recommended it to a coworker who wanted to introduce some JS framework in a fairly complicated and existing project.
I mainly chose Angular because I'm expecting my software to become more complicated.
And because businesses want Angular and it's a good learning experience.

I dunno about Angular 2, but Angular 1 is needlessly complicated...
The end results is that you have bugs and issue in relatively common component that are left unfixed for quite a long time...
I get if the business wants it well you probably can't do much about it and just suck it up and move on.
Anyway, just to I told you so, I would argue the following. What does AngularJS bring that is worth?
- MVVM. VueJS does it much better, simpler and better performance
- Auto downloading of component (HTML) template and related component's javascript. Ok this one is nice. Probably can be written from scratch without too much effort or replicated with requirejs, or maybe bundle everything ASP.NET MVC style
- dependency injection. While this is a nice technical achievement it's not that big a deal.
And then what Angular drag you down with: Complexity, foloows by long standing bug in main components....

|

Yeah, you may have convinced me...
Angular 4 is a drag. I've lost two nights trying to get that friggin' datepicker to work.
I'm not a big fan of TypeScript either, appears I favor less typing over type safety in JavaScript.
I'll have a look at ReactJS as well.

|

nice! Yeah I had problem in Angular with a datetime picker too, haha.
I quite like TypeScript, I thought it really doesn't constrain me much at all. But if it does bother you occasionally just make your variable any type. If it bother you often drop it. But I am surprised that it does... Although if you are the one that brings it to the company I could understand that you have learning curve issues.... godspeed!

If it's a simple website, why use Angular at all? Sledgehammes and nuts, and all that....

Besides, it's a nice learning experience!

Come back to WinForms.
