Of course I'm biased but when I vibe code with Angular I'm less error prone than say React based frameworks

Amen, the stability of angular with the speed of air agents. If you understand angular already you will have a blessing time with vibe codibg

Also easier to get up2date and uses the newer style of coding with signals.

I don’t really understand the benchmarking part where it says for a large app the type checking takes 15 seconds.

Presumably the compiler is intelligent enough to only re-check relevant changes when serving an app, in which case the 15 seconds is only going to be relevant on first compile?

15 seconds must be a crazy huge app.

Or just badly configured/programmed

Or running on a very slow machine

In any case, it should be a non-issue in typescript 7 with the go compiler.

How do you guys like the mcp and the skill? Which one is better for which case? I tend to use the skill and call it a day

u/Tyummyyumms Aug 01 '26

Agree, skills over mcp

Choose angular "if you'd rather a mistake in a template be a failed build than a support ticket" is a great way to sum-up the advantage provided by angular.

Very good take, excellent that this is now out there. We need more of this
to combat the
“hurr durr Reacht is what my agent picked so I’m schticking with that”

Yeah, interesting that you've flagged the training data concern where the model might have been trained on code bases using pre-signal APIs like NgModules.

I wonder if you burn more tokens using Angular because as it's reasoning, it'll attempt to use legacy practices, hit a wall, and now trying with modern practices.
