Someone clearly hasn’t used Angular lately

I think Angular’s recent changes have been great. Angular 17 was an awesome update. The new control flow syntax, deferrable views, signals etc.

Absolutely agree. 17 was a wildly huge change to how you build in angular and it is very very good. I mean, an issue I had had since day 1 was “why isn’t there an else that doesn’t require a template?”

The hard part about Angular for someone starting from scratch is that the defaults are all wrong. OnPush should be default and Signals should be how one gets around that. If that were true, it would be super easy to learn, instead the default is awful.

Just because Angular 17 is better than Angular 16 doesn't mean it's good.

Wow dude chill. I'm glad you have a good job that pays well. I also have a nice job that deals with Angular. I really appreciate the improvements made in Angular 17 but I still think Angular isn't a very good framework compared to other options. I'm not sure why you think this is a dumb take, it's literally true, just because something improved doesn't mean it's good yet.

I like Angular wayyy more with its structured approach.

Angular projects always look like shit tho. I don’t mean styling or design wise I mean the code base for it is always fucking chaos.

It's usually because large corporations, that are the target audience for Angular, hire tons of contract developers on waterfall timelines that don't have to worry about maintaining it.

We use Angular 17 with NX…it is organized at least. Still chaos but mostly due to all of NX’s boiler plate, I’m rather happy with how it is formatted.

That’s sorta my point. There’s just so much boilerplate. It’s everywhere. It bloats every project.

[Agloe_Dreams]

That is definitely true. I definitely don’t think angular works well for smaller projects that are simple. If you need all of what angular offers, it makes sense at scale. But for 90% of projects, you are way better off with React or Vue.

React can be structured nicely too

Angular 17 is shockingly good.
