I haven't been involved in Angular for quite some time. As someone who uses other JavaScript frameworks (Vue, React, Svelte), what am I missing out on? I'd be curious to hear from people who would pick Angular over any of the other big frameworks.

Angular (and e.g. Ember) are the “Rails” of frontend frameworks.

React/Vue/Svelte are view libraries that give you more flexibility.

Angular gives you structure.

For large enterprise apps with many developers, consistency and standardization is often the main reason people choose it.

I would just say in general Angular is best if you basically want to build an old school application as a website.. and especially if you kind of hate javascript and web development but focus on the backend as the main part.
