2015 was when I used Aurelia, too. As someone who used the first version of Angular, it was a breath of fresh air, and I agree that you can get results quickly using Aurelia. I left that company so haven't been using it, but I've secretly hoped people would catch on and switch to it somewhere down the road. But as you say, it's fine that it's not popular--quite often, the best things are not the popular things.

Sadly, Aurelia didn't quite catch on like other options. But, it's funny when you look at libraries like Svelte, many of their touted features like reactivity not only existed in Aurelia, but in Durandal before it. I think it comes with age. I'm in my mid-thirties now, so I just use what I want to use that gets results. But I remember being young and hungry as a developer in my twenties, you used what everyone else used because of job prospects.

I think Aurelia 2 still has the potential to make a comeback. Maybe not popular like React or Vue, but still. The beta has been quite good. It just needs more awareness.
