I first started using Knockout.js and within an evening I was up and running and pretty much knew all I needed to know to get cracking.
Our whole team has been using Angular now for about 2 weeks and we are all still confused as hell about how we are supposed to get certain things working.
I can see the power of Angular, when stuff does click with it, it does really click. I think the problem is that thinking 'Angular' is completely different to working with jQuery and the DOM - for which I have years of habits deeply ingrained in me. The documentation really should make this clear from the start - 'forget everything you knew about front end development and start completely from scratch'.
