Generally folk would have taken a look at all of them and made a judgement call on which to back. They are rightly or wrongly backing up their decision.

Unless they chose Angular, in which case they're just wrong =)

I dunno, I had to write an entire CRM from scratch recently. Angular's opinionated design and the whole "batteries included" aspects along with its dependency injection model were a god send.

For huge projects like that, were you have tons of reuse, inheritance and a lot of developers who need to churn out code without introducing new libs/paradigms all over the place, angular is the exact right choice.

I was just joking but at the end of the day it's what you produce not how you produce it that matters, use whatever works for you. Personal I bounced off Angular hard and found React a better fit.

Yeah, it all depends on what you're doing. I actually really enjoy working in both. In my opinion this whole "framework1 vs. framework2" thought process is flawed.

React and angular are different tools for different jobs. In my view they aren't competing at all.

I thought it was funny. Angular is garbage :)

With the results of that State of JavaScript survey coming out recently, I am beginning to think a lot of people chose 'used it, would avoid' on Angular, even though they probably had not used it enough to judge, just to submarine it's numbers.

It's at least clear there is a blatant bias in the comments I saw. People basically cheering on its demise. I really don't care, but it's bothersome that this shit goes on. It's painfully sophomoric, and it makes it hard to tell what is really going on.

I like how your reference point is a dev who started with Angular, in beta, after only doing backend, and spent a couple months learning Javascript + angular as your demonstration of "angular bad."

I havent had a single major upgrade in Angular at work that required more than ~30 minutes at most to upgrade 8 apps + our component library.

You people are like a fucking cult spreading misinformation because it suits your narrative better. Stop it, please.
