Nice post!

What I hate the most of Angular is the exhausting boiler before even reach the declaration of your component!, prettier does a very good job arranging everything for you, but some times you have 50 lines before the Component decorator.

What I love the most, is the use of TypeScript; I have worked with Ng, Vue and React, and the use of TS is amazing!; classes, interfaces, enums, types, it is remarkable all the unblocked features present in Ng Framework.

Hi Crisarji, thanks for reading!

I admit, the boilerplate code can drive a person nuts at times, but using the Angular CLI effectively is a great way of side stepping this. One can run a simple command such as ng g component component-name and all the boiler plate for the code is taken care of. One thing that gets to me though is the crazy amounts of imports you end up with in a complex component.

Ng framework, what is that, is it an acronym for Angular? Of course React works just fine with Typescript as well (as does Vue) ...
