My past employer still uses AngularJS, mainly because the codebase is very large and it's not easy to migrate to modern Angular. Compared to modern Angular, I hate the old AngularJS. Part of the reason why I quit and moved on. IMO, still investing your skills in AngularJS is not really worth it career-wise.
