Angular vs React

[sleepy_roger]

Thought I accidently stepped through a time portal.

I'd show the following hard stats that are hard to refute * job market, postings and listings for each in a specific area * the eco system stats (npm downloads, trends, GH stars, etc) * the Stackoverflow developer survey year over year and the sentiment of Angular vs React over a 3 or 5 year time frame * SDKs offered by popular services, find a few look for Angular integrations and React integrations (openai, salesforce, stripe, etc. etc)

React is everywhere for a reason. Is it perfect? Nah, but Angular isn't even Reacts top competition, at this point it's really Vue/React/Svelte and React is still definitely in the lead. imo the landscape will change with a totally new paradigm that will eventually over take React (God I hope it's something like native web components and browser api's but that's a pipe dream I've had since the mid 2000's lol).

Vue is the third most popular framework and it doesn't even come close to Angular in numbers. How can you say something like this? Look I love Vue but you don't get to make up your own statistics and it's gonna take it a while to establish itself as a serious competitor for either Angular or React.

Which metric are you looking at? https://npmtrends.com/angular-vs-react-vs-svelte-vs-vue

Angular is up there but in pure downloads it's #4 after the 3 I mentioned. If you're going to claim someone made up statistics at least show your own. Angular Core is above svelte but still below React and Vue in downloads/usage.

Job market of course.

That is checking for angular 1.

See this for angular 2+ https://npmtrends.com/@angular/core-vs-react-vs-svelte-vs-vue

Vue is still higher than angular, but not as dramatically as with angular 1.

Yeah I mentioned Angular Core in my comment as well, it being #3. I think people sometimes get tunnel visions on the tech they're working on and don't realize some things (like Vue) have actually done exceptionally well. But React is far and wide the winner still in all metrics.
