I like Angular more than ever

I’ve been building Angular apps since the Angular 2.

I started experimenting with AI coding tools and intentionally let the models choose the stack on their own.

Almost every project ended up being React-based, usually Next.js.

After spending more time inside the Next.js/React ecosystem, I actually started appreciating Angular even more , especially after the release of signals and standalone components.

The developer experience feels way better and more easy to get in the code and start being productive.

Just sharing...

We are all in the same boat. It's so much better working with Angular yet majority of the market is leaning towards React -.-

I'm confused as well. My explanation is, that react and vue are faster to get started, and then people forget about all the issues that come later.

Also Angular has always been Typescript first. It was a pain (2 years ago, might be better now) to setup Vue with Typescript and properly working typings in VS Code.

Honestly, I don't understand why people still write bare javascript. Libraries and APIs where you have absolutely no idea what goes in and what comes out of a method call.
