> why didnt you think about having this feature optional?
Opt-in security features aren't very useful.
> class based controllers are optional yet,because of them you introduce a feature that affect function based controllers ?
That's how competing constraints work out sometimes.
We're always looking to improve though. The code is open source, so feel free to submit a PR or fork it if you disagree. :)

We've been steadily working on improving the docs, and rolling out significantly improvements on a regular basis. Is there any particular part of the docs that still ails you?

> the development of important features stalled for AngularJS as the team was busy working on Dart version.
Not true. Google grew the team. Take a look at the activity on Github. The velocity has been consistently high throughout the development of the Dart fork: https://github.com/angular/angular.js/pulse
If there was some important feature you wanted, you are always able to submit a PR yourself. That's how open source works.

False dichotomy. Work on the the JavaScript version has actually increased. Google grew the team, not split it. https://github.com/angular/angular.js/pulse

Did they lint or unit test their code? Without having a way to verify that parts of your app work at a smaller level, of course it's going to get hairy when it starts to grow. Although a compile step verifies types, unit tests do that plus check against runtime errors. This is not a language problem.
