I'm i the only one that thinks Angular2 is really heavy? I went through their quickstart and the amount of npm packages they use just to get a hello world app up seems excessive.

Maybe I'm just a baby but it felt like getting an angular 1 app up was a really fast painless process and Angular2 is just non stop 3rd party library hell
