I wish I had known better when the newly hired Front-end "developer" insisted in that our perfectly working HTML5+CSS+Javascript app was "old" and we should start an Angular project from scratch.
I saw issues with discarding existing website that was working fine (and fast!), only the looks of it needed to be changed, but he was mad about it. I had to allow him to work within his knowledge, so Angular was it.
Months later he was struggling to maintain a code base of hundreds of files. I looked at this in horror reminiscent of J2EE times: 90% boiler-plate code, many many "components", an ever-growing bug list. Essential features present in the "old" Web UI were just not portable to Angular because they were not "the Angular way".
Today I am checking Vue.js as a potential way to simplify our "old" Javascript, and maybe Web Components if our UI becomes more complex (than I can foresee, really).
Try Svelte, it's by far the best front-end framework I've seen. It actually makes things easier rather than more difficult, which is more than I can say for the other frameworks I've tried. There is a very good online interactive tutorial which doesn't take long, and gives a great overview of what Svelte can do.

Thanks I am trying it
