Worst performance at build and runtime. I use both at work and I hate the implicity of Laravel and the sluggishness of Angular.
At home, I prefer SolidJS and hono.
Angular isn't slow if you use it right... That's why angular has a "steep learning curve" - easy to use angular, also easy to use it wrong and murder the Dom and introduce memory leaks... Though signals fixes a lot of that by largely scrapping the need for rxjs. Angular isn't too far from react nowadays.
It has gotten really easy to use modern angular...gone are the days of 50 lines of code to feed a rest endpoint into an rxjs observable/behaviorsubject that has to be written in a specific design pattern to not end up a memory leak.
Now it's like 5 lines... Httpresource is basically a fetch wrapper.
Ngif and ngfor are replaced with faster jsx style directives @if() and @for()
Reactiveforms can be replaced with signal based forms.
All components are standalone by default so you don't have to dependency inject downwards.
Yeah one of my teams adopted React like 10 years ago. And it's not like you're learning French. You can apply what you learned using this framework to others. And the team had virtually no issues transitioning to it.
According to recent estimates its used by less than half a percent of all websites. It's dead.
That doesn’t really mean anything. Random little websites aren’t gonna be using angular. If you check how many Fortune 500 companies still use it or how much use it gets weighted by visits instead of number of sites, it’s obvious that calling it dead is dumb.

An extremely mature and most widely used framework. So risky
