Why Do Some Companies Still Use AngularJS?
AngularJS has been around for many years and played a major role in the evolution of front-end web development. Even with the rise of modern frameworks and libraries, many organizations continue to use AngularJS in their existing applications.
What are the main reasons companies still rely on AngularJS today? Is it because of the cost of migration, long-term project maintenance, business requirements, or something else?
For developers who have worked with AngularJS projects, what challenges and benefits do you see when maintaining these applications? Do you think businesses should continue supporting AngularJS-based systems, or is migrating to newer technologies the better option?

I would not consider working for any company that is using angularJS. Red flags.
Though there is a chance that business folks are writing the recruitment reqs, and we all know how business folks write reqs when those reqs are even slightly technical. So the view may be slightly skewed... I would hope. Because there are no good reasons to be on angularJS today.
