What's wrong with Angular? It being largely "batteries included" seemed pretty nice and I really liked the fact that TypeScript was a first class citizen - React and Vue both feel like it's been kind of tacked on, especially when a lot of additional libraries out there don't really have proper bindings.

That said, personally I also think that React kind of went downhill for a bit due to the hooks (after seeing a few projects become really nightmarish to debug due to render loops without clear causes for them, after people sprinkled one too many hooks in there).

Oh, and the Vue 2 to 3 migration is also a bit problematic because still many UI component libraries haven't been migrated over - currently actually using PrimeVue on a project because BootstrapVue still doesn't have proper support https://github.com/bootstrap-vue/bootstrap-vue/issues/5196

No matter how hard I try, I just can't like React. I prefer Angular, Vue, even Ember. React feels like a downgrade to me.
