Except now, you've assumed yourself into your own circle.
I've used Angular quite extensively and I actually liked it quite well.
It is interesting since it has so many declarative type of constructs versus the imperative type of coding that many of us are accustomed to.
My point was and still is... Angular really doesn't do that much -- compared to an all-purpose type of language but it seems to be ascending -- ie There are more searches about Angular but it does less than an all-purpose language. That seems interesting to me. Less functionality but more searches.
It was just a technical discussion. There was nothing personal about Angular in there.

And that right there is your answer. It replaces server-side code with client-side code and does it extremely well. We're using Angular on one of our projects precisely because we wanted MVC on the client. We didn't want all the scaffolding C# MVC code on the server. We wanted something that would run on the client. All the business logic is embedded in ASP.NET WebAPI services which we reuse on our mobile apps. So the UI only needs to validate the user-input, and Angular again makes this extremely easy and simple too.
Just because there is hype doesn't imply the technology is a fad. There is hype around almost any / all technologies these days. Some of this hype is warranted, some not so much.
Angular does exactly what it says on the tin, and does so very well indeed.

Yes, the SoC that it creates for UI is very nice -- and exactly what we've hoped for and expected for a long time. And I think it does make a lot of things easier.
As people also commented on the site at the original post, one of the reasons that it seems to be ascending is because the new docs were limited and not very good where they did exist so a lot of people search SO for answers.

"The ability to leverage new technologies to retool our workforce will ultimately lead to new opportunities to build high value skills for our workers."
I've often wondered why I've never landed a cushy, over-paid gig at a firm like Deloitte. I'm starting to suspect that it's something to do with not being able to talk such exquisitely buzzword-strewn BS as this.

The committee has allowed initialization for the range-based for loop, followed the C++ Core Guidelines scoping recommendations, added the new header <bit>, adopted Sutter’s proposal for the ⇔, approved extensions to the standard library, and did a lot of cleanup to make the language simpler to use.

While I am keen to see Modules reach mainstream, I think the committee is right here - wait until implementors have experience with the TS before merging it into main. Hopefully, it will avoid any horrible gotchas down the road.

I liked the concept of modules way back before the word was invented, but then I discovered the headache of mixing class definitions and code with C# and found keeping the two separate a big relief when I returned to C++.

Along with that comes some playful sparring over products, with Microsoft's Satya Nadella the latest to jokingly throw some shade in Apple direction. Perhaps a Windows Phone? We have a lot in the warehouse.

It's my reaction to Surface (at least one without a keyboard and mouse.)
For pure multi-media systems, tablets are great. For everything else, they suck.

The jab probably originated from MS not knowing what to do with their own tablet, much less how to market it.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Kent,
I've noticed a few typo in some of your news articles. I talked to Chris about this and we agreed that I could help out while you are away. Could you send me your login credentials so that I can get started?
Thanks.

I was thinking a couple of days ago about the new wave of systems languages now challenging C for its place at the top of the systems-programming heap – Go and Rust, in particular. I reached a startling realization – I have 35 years of experience in C. I write C code pretty much every week, but I can no longer remember when I last started a new project in C!
Not someone I'd've expected to be predicting the end of C; but he's reached the point where he thinks several new languages are reaching the point where they may be able to dethrone C even for systems programming.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

At one point, COBOL was supreme. It's gone. And yet, there are still some things today even COBOL is used for, so it'll never completely go away since C has touched so many things in tech and has such a small footprint. I'd still use it in certain situations today, even for the web. But, by and large things get phased out by the majority. Personally, C will always be my favorite language, but it's just the nature of the beast to have change.
