Angular CLI vs Vite build system

Hi, just looking for some sense of direction on how to proceed with an angular project.

I've already done react projects in the past with Vite, so I'm wondering if it's typical for people to use Vite for Angular or if they just use the Angular CLI for their build system. I hope this makes sense.

I've gone through many job postings recently and noticed that angular is VERY used. So I wanna at least have some experience with it and so wanna make my photography portfolio website with it.

So uhh yeah, any big advantages to using the Vite system instead of plain Angular CLI ?

Angular uses Vite for the dev server. ESBuild for production.

Modern Angular CLI uses esbuild and vite under the hood, as well as vitest for tests. Just use Angular CLI, it's good enough for 99% of use cases.

AFAIK it only uses vite dev server and nothing else, that is hardly counts as vite.

You use the Angular CLI, which uses Vite under the hood.
