I remember when AngularJS was an easy Javascript library that anyone could learn in an afternoon and include on a web page in about 5 minutes.
Then Google famously deprecated it when a lot of people had already built apps in it.
Don't get me wrong, the replacement Angular is better, but also has a MUCH higher learning curve. And more importantly, who can trust that they won't just retire that when it becomes inconvenient, too? Leaving any business that used it high and dry.
