Honestly, I didn't watch it in the beginning (BtVS). I was a little kid then...I didn't even know what they were talking about. (Don't worry, after years and years I've seen just about every episode, spoiler-thingy, and review possible; pretend like I was there all along!) Anyway...onto C/A goodness...
B/A was just too lusty for me. They couldn't hang out or have fun...or anything. And Buffy treated Angel like crap. (Notice: she treats Spike the same way...that girl has issues beyond my theraputic repair.)
Buffy, re: Angel's kisses
"It makes me want to die."
Also
Buffy and Angel:
Angel: You think I'm an animal? (More of a statement, actually. From his POV.)
Buffy: No. Animals I like.
Buffy tends to become an obsession for vamps, most likely a slayer thing.
While I won't doubt Angel and Buffy's love for each other in the beginning, it's over now. Cordelia is his light, she has a way with words and she makes his blood without the ittiest bittiest grimace. She cares about him. Way I see it, (In S1 Ats) Cordelia wanted to accept Doyle and Angel to some degree, so that they would accept her. That acceptance just got bigger and bigger, it grew throughout the seasons. They fell in love.
Plus, B/A was like that teenage time in your life when you think you'll be with that person forever. No, Angel was NOT a teen, but it was still Teen Love.
After two-hundred plus years, the guy grew up.
Cordelia did to.
They grew up together.

Okay, we'll pretend (lol). The kiss thing is something I found quite...Out of place. I couldn't decipher it to actually meaning something....'good'...Rather, why would you want to die if someone kissed you? Other than if its a horrible, horrible, beyond thoughts possible bad kiss, I don't really see the purpose of 'dying' because of that kiss...And I'm pretty sure Angel is a damn good kisser!
All of the things you listed are so true. C/A understand each other, the 'real' deal in relationships in my point of view, while B/A was, well...Like many people said, lust....We might've been moved by the fact Buffy and Angel 'walk through the school, come under a roofing, and Buffy moves on while Angel stays behind because of the sunlight' thing but now that you look back at it....It was really emphasising Buffy's need to have Angel in the sunlight...HTF are you supposed to wish that with a VAMPIRE?
With B/A, it was always like.....'We can't be together' 'Our love is forbidden' 'It wasn't meant to be' 'It's not possible' or just plain crying, crying, needing, crying, dreaming about guy coming to girl's bedroom and making out (again, LUST!) and more crying, crying....
With C/A it is, 'We're friends' 'Tell me about your past' 'Let's talk' friendly hugs, encouragements, understanding, comfort, the smiles that light up the day....It really sums up to a very healthy relationship not the dark, unrealistic fling that Bangel was....Sorry to say to B/Aers, but all hope for B/A was lost the MOMENT Angel disappeared into the darkness of the shadows in Graduation Day p2. The rest of the 'Bangely poison sugaryness' was forced upon us.
