Sorry, but this is a rewriting of history and the present facts, and I can't let it go unchallenged.

React was first released in 2013, whereas Angular (2) was first released in 2016. React was already a very popular and rapidly growing framework by that point, so the idea that people adopted it simply because of Angular 2 is clearly false.

And while the migration process from Angular 1 to 2 was painful, it's simply untrue to say that nobody bothered, or that every AngularJS developer moved away. If you look at a source like https://hotframeworks.com/, which sources framework popularity data from GitHub and Stack Overflow, you can see that Angular has achieved a significant amount of adoption, and there are plenty of examples of people migrating successfully from 1 to 2+.

Sorry but your facts are just wrong. Angular2 was announced in late 2014, just about the time when angular 1 was becoming mainstream used by big banks and the like. Look at Microsoft's blog from early 2015 announcing the use of typescript in Angular2. Linking some generic website does not make your comment less toxic and I would strongly suggest you get your facts right before posting stuff like that here.
