I've been using Angular in production for 5+ years. There was a year where things were confusing, state updating all over the place, and general frustration. But once I grokked pure components, and embraced "data down, actions up", it all clicked and just made sense [0]. I find React obtuse in comparison.

Angular front-end, Nestjs backend has fast become my stack of choice. It greatly minimises context switching by having such similar paradigms across frontend and backend.
