A lot responses challenging your Angular-is-hated claim, but I'd like to challenge your other one.

Tensorflow is not necessarily the most loved framework, despite it being in python, and being around for years now. This is in stark contrast to the way TF was marketed and hyped up, as the f/w that's going to take over the world of DL. That clearly didn't happen.

I think torch/pytorch is more popular (but don't quote me on that). And there are about half-a-dozen more competing with these two.

Putting two and two together, Angular and TF likely have more similarities than differences when it comes to community response.

what other viable projects besides tf/torch you would recommend to take a look at?

I think there are dozens of inference frameworks. But full featured ones probably just TF / PyTorch / mxnet / Chainer that I am aware of (since caffe2 is merged into PyTorch).
