I don't know where the author lives but I haven't seem that everyone claim to know Angular. Quite the contrary everyone claim to know React.

Yes Angular is not great and most people know it. I just see almost all new applications using React/Next/vue

I did a quick search on Indeed and compared the number of results found. It's not scientifically rigorous or anything, but it should give us a rough idea of where Angular and React stand compared to each other. The search terms where "Angular JavaScript" and "React JavaScript" and similar without the quotation marks.

Angular, Anywhere in US: 25,248

React, Anywhere in US: 29,197

Vue, Anywhere in US: 8,032

Angular, California: 2,658

React, California: 4,643

Vue, California: 1,134

It seems like Angular and React are both very popular, but Angular is a bit less popular in California than elsewhere in the US. Vue is less popular than both, but it is a bit more popular in California than the rest of the US.

In 2020 I searched for employees and 90% were Angular, 10% React. Now it is the 30-70 (because the skills market is delayed compared to things people are currently learning).

Interesting. I'm in the U.S. Midwest and most C# devs I talk to don't want to touch React, because they "already know Angular"

Typescript was largely inspired by C#. Because of Angular following OOPS patterns it is relatively popular in C# developers.

In pure front end developer land Angular is quite behind React in popularity.

> Typescript was largely inspired by C#.

Sorry, but I have to correct this every time I see it on here: TypeScript is accommodating to C# developers, but it's equally accommodating to developers who don't want to touch classes with a ten-foot pole (and to everyone in-between). React benefits from it just as much as Angular does, etc.

Most devs from India that I talk to are learning react but know angular. They would like to continue with angular but it is not something that is excepted to companies we sell to anymore.
