Ugh, this isn’t Angular anymore. This will be just like the v1 -> v2 transition. Presignal -> signal. The second they start deprecating the previous syntax, we will hit very difficult migrations

We just got done porting everything from AngularJS to Angular D:
A joke or really? At this point, I would just port it into Svelte, it is the same amount of effort anyway and it has been so long!
We started the transition years ago; large codebase to port. Trust me, if it was my choice it wouldn't be Angular. I trust no google product.
There is a pretty usable migration tool built into Angular CLI at least for switching over to the new template syntax. Requires some manual cleanup here and there but overall it’s not painful at all.
How "not painful" would it be for a codebase with thousands of files, hundreds of which are widgets?
