Same here.

Just a note: the NPM manifest declares the entry point as "index.js", but this file does not exist.

I disagree greatly. I've used Angular in a team project that spanned several months and went into production at a startup. After reading this article, I realize how much of my experience is reflected in it. I personally experienced each of the problems on his "bad parts" list, except for the name clashes issue (#3). For the last few months I've been telling people that Angular is powerful, but it has an extremely steep learning curve. I've been reluctant to tell people to try it because, why you can do a lot with it, you must baptize yourself in the framework before you can write anything half-decent. It's a little depressing to see someone with deeper experience come out and say it does not get better. But I know that as much as I want to like it, Angular imposes too much for me to actually recommend it.

So, this article is definitely not generic. Maybe, if you're reading at the bottom of the article, you can call it generic, because the advice for future projects is good. But otherwise, it's spot on. I can only hope that the Angular dev team sees this blog post and incorporates the recommendations into version 2.

This is really great, but I would appreciate some tests or description or your testing procedure. Does this project pass the NodeJS test suite?

100% agreed. I am amazed that this article would appear on the front page of HN.

This issue reflects the challenge of trying to sell music to people who can pirate the stuff. When the alternative to your product is free and close enough to substitute, the paid product needs to provide enough value to convince the market that it is worthwhile. Here you have a text editor that its audience feels has been abandoned, so it is not providing as much value as an open source alternative.
