Seems like Angular has gotten better since v2 (my last experience).

Has anyone done a modern Angular vs. React comparison that's not an AI slop article?

I'm also curious if it's "simple made easy" for performant applications. React is arguably "simple made hard", but there are notable, highly performant applications written with it (Linear comes to mind).

Angular Control Flow alone is a massive QoL improvement compared to the React way to do template conditions, switches, loops, etc.

I do wonder - why not add this to jsx?

Because the React team 100% cares about miniscule optimization enhancements, and 0% about otherwise making the tool better.

Source: Just look at what's been in the last couple years of updates.

Modern Angular is MUCH nicer to use than the v2 days (or even the v4 days when I first started working with it). A lot of the required boilerplate is unnecessary nowadays. And even RxJS and NgRX are becoming less and less necessary to use too, which is great.

React basically is now focused on being Next.js infrastructure and designed to support Vercel and partners.

I only touch it when doing projects like Sitecore, Contentful, Sanity, and co, where React/Next.js are the official extension points.

So many hooks, use "this" and "that".
