Yeah this is an old theme for sure, but Google has screwed up with angular so epicly, it's just surprising from the company that invented so much of the web that they would miss the mark so badly. I think that's why the angular/react discussion is a bit more wild than the old ones of yesteryear.

It's really more interesting from a perspective of institutional blindness/incompetence/arrogance than any real technical discussion.

The transition to Angular 2+ felt like a slow-motion train wreck at first.

To their credit, though, I find the Angular development experience to be quite good now. I like that there's interest in the Angular community around generating code that can be aggressively optimized by the Closure compiler.I like to ship as little code as possible to browser as possible, as lots of people are using older computers, tablets, and phones where parsing an unnecessarily large code bundle causes a noticeable delay.

Thus far, I've had a lot more success at reducing bundle size when using Angular than when using React. But I still end up using React often, because I enjoy it and I like the size of its ecosystem.
