  I recently upgraded a relatively complex angular project from v14 to v21. I feel like Angular development slowed down for a few years. However, looking at the changes over those versions in total makes it feel like a whole new framework.

  I must admit, modern angular has been a pleasure to use. It's a shame that the ecosystem is a little rough. Luckily you get so much out of the box already.

  I enjoyed Angular before React, had a good run with it, it was a vibe, now if I'm being honest I totally forget it ever existed. Not to praise React either, lately I've been actually digging the htmx way, though I feel like the battle is now which framework/language is the agent more proficient with and the static/compiler level tooling can help catch mistakes.

  Wow Angular Aria looks fantastic. Even have full docs for the more complicated scenarios like autocomplete. Can't wait to get this in my hands and see if it replaces the custom screen reader autocomplete I had to make.

  Really excited for this. I've been dying to use signal-forms and resources since they were experimental. Once I got on the signal train, I could never go back and having to use RxJS for forms became a major pain point.

  I like Angular, it feels a bit like Django. Easy to use with everything included.

  Angular has made my programming career joy and it has not felt like work at all, all the best to angular dev team! Nothing better than getting to work with favorite language, learning better and getting paid :D

  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.

  import {signal} from "@angular/core" import {form} from "@angular/forms/signals" So, signal comes out of core and form comes out of forms/signals. This must be a terminology thing I don't get.Other than that. Looking forward to try Angular again after a decade of absence. I think it looks pretty good.

  How does modern angular performance compare to the alternatives? Is it as fast?

  the biggest problem in angular is that it is so hard to use a custom toolchain, i.e. not their angular/cli product instead mix it with other stuff in lets say vite

  Seems like Angular has gotten better since v2 (my last experience).Has anyone done a modern Angular vs. React comparison that's not an AI slop article?I'm also curious if it's "simple made easy" for performant applications. React is arguably "simple made hard", but there are notable, highly performant applications written with it (Linear comes to mind).

  Out of curiosity I’ve progressed away from Angular around 2018. My peak spa-ish reduxian state management experience was building an NgRX combo with @ngrx/effects for side effects.Till this day I remember this fondly as it gave me so much ease of control of the application’s many complex states. Especially when I nowadays deal with all sorts of false-prophets in forms of hooks and what ever reactive primitive du-jour (don’t get Me wrong they are 80% of the time the better choice, it’s just that they don’t scale).What’s today’s version of complex state management in Angular-Land?
