AngularJS and Angular (what you referred to as Angular 1 and 2) are completely different frameworks. It’s a branding issue, not a technical one. Angular, from version 2 to 15 in the past 8 years, has been completely backwards compatible, and even stayed on the same paradigms. Angular code from 8 years ago looks almost the same as modern code. Which is much more stable than react’s codebase.

I mean, for a single version bump (Google called it Angular 2.0) to render not only the code not migrate-able, but the entire paradigms on which the framework was based on is basically unheard of in an enterprise-targeting framework.

That’s an egg-on-face technical fail.

AngularJS and Angular are really the same product. Angular 1 turned into Angular 2 turned into Angular 15. That’s far from different frameworks, even if in between versions you’re essentially learning a new framework.
