Discussion on: Angular is almost always better than React

The last figures I saw was that React was 1.5 times as popular as Angular. These numbers are a bit old, and I know React has a lot of momentum though, so things might have changed since then ...

Thank you :)

Speaking more seriously with the same guy that's what I can extract:

  • Depending on the niche you'll find more Angular than React devs.
  • Sometimes there's a company with projects already made with Angular so they want the same stack on following projects.
  • It's happening a new wave of React projects (the pandemic increase is being reflected into the market thus the amount of React projects and clients that prefer React are increasing as well).
  • This increase in React projects in big companies also retro-aliments the community (which makes sense).
  • Some of projects that require a framework are now being made with Next, which is chasing Angular.
  • Depending on the country you'll find more people that is used to Angular than React or vice-versa (so that's a point to check if you need new devs with Angular for any new project in Aista 😁).
