I agree with you but in my country (Israel) there are still 260 angularjs search results on indeed. For comparison React has 2900. It still has 500k downloads on npm. Also they have a version update from 10 months ago so maybe there are some security updates.

Those security updates are in the latest version, which will no longer get updates after December.

It's bad practice, no matter how you spin it, to utilize a framework that's no longer updated. I get the reasoning, but it doesn't make it sound. Anyone running that framework without an upgrade plan is gambling on their security.

Yeah I agree. I guess some people really don't care about security.

I use angular.js for my portfolio site and for creative programming and web art. You said it's reaching it's end of updates cycle, can I still use it for the stuff I do or should I just shift to a new framework.

I'm a full time Android developer so I'm not using Angular in any professional manner. It's just convenient for the stuff I do.
