LinkedIn lists 68K jobs for Angular developers, so it obviously is in heavy usage. Learning it is not a bad choice in that respect. Esp if you're shooting for a position at a major enterprise (e.g., M$, PayPal, Delta Airlines, Forbes, all use it). I had to work with it at a multinational insurance company. I personally find it overly complicated. I wouldn't use it for any personal or small applications.

Agreed absolutely when it comes to jobs perspective. But just to have the title of this article in context, specifically where he means "developers can learn in 2022". I think companies, let alone upcoming developers should start adapting to modern frameworks/technology to stay ahead of the curve and rather even more productive.
Although yes it would be a tedious task if it comes to the company's "existing products" to adapt any new technology but I think for anything that's upcoming, it's about time companies consider glorifying other useful frameworks out there.
Just my take

Changing technologies is fraught. It's expensive - it can cost a million dollars or more. And, as the saying goes, "many a slip between cup and lip." I'm currently doing free "beta testing" for a company whose products I use; it switched from Angular to React. (It gives me credit toward purchases in exchange for my testing, and to obviate the inconvenience of the various malfunctions.) It's been a horror show of nonfunctional or dysfunctional interfaces and apps. I can't imagine the company isn't bleeding money - both paying the development costs of fixing the problems, and losing sales because of poor performance. This prospect is what ties companies to a technology long after the rest of the world has moved on.
