That you haven't run into a technology in years doesn't mean it's dead. It just means that that technology for one reason or another just isn't used in your environment.

I can tell you that both AngularJS and Angular 2 are far from dead. Both existing and new applications (mostly Angular 2) are being actively developed with these technologies.

"Node.js and AngularJS continue to be the most commonly used technologies in this category." https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2017#technology-fr...

You couldn't be more wrong. For consulting shops, Angular 1.x is and will remain a huge revenue generator for many years to come.

It's still used in quite a lot of enterprise production applications, would say it's on the decline but no where near dead.
