Most companies don't switch quickly.

We have a huge Angular 1.x app, but after hiring some new developers for our team we found the pool of React devs was huge compared to Angular devs. So much developer goodwill and mindshare has been lost.

After carefully evaluating the technical aspects of Angular and React and externalities like the above, we decided to start building new software with React.

Angular won't go away overnight, it will see a very steady and slow attrition, with developers themselves leading the way.

I also skipped Angular 2 and moved to VueJS. Never been happier.

But I was responding to "You had it, and you blew it. Most people aren't going to use any version of Angular, now, and have switched to React and Vue."

When you look at the stats and look at other places online there are still very much people liking and using Angular. So it's not going away soon.

Also take a look at Google trends: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=angular,react Both Angular and React are growing at an equal pace.

So the claim that developing new versions of Angular is a waste of time is nonsense.

Better trend comparison (the other one the first example query for react was "Youtubers react")

These fad shifts are inherent because there is little point in competing with 0 years experience in an established tech if the market will allow breaking changes.

Angular is actually better off with the break as new graduates may use it to replace vue as the new fad once vue has replaced react.

Similar to what happened with backbone when angular gained traction.
