It's very opinionated compared to the alternatives and it has a "batteries included" kind of approach. There's a "right" way to do things and you don't need to pull in a lot of third party libraries for basic functionality. The native typescript support is really nice too.

I've worked on react apps where some features use different routers, state stores and component syntax. Angular gives you 2 ways to solve problems and keeps things consistent and on the rails.

Having stuff included does have advantages, but, in my opinion, some of those included things in Angular are really badly designed (I'm looking at you, Forms)

I never use Angular for personal projects, and I have been using TypeScript exclusively for years. I.e. other libraries work really well with TypeScript as well (sometimes actually better than Angular, in my experience)
