To be fair the situation has changed drastically over the past 12 months.

After 2.0, AOT got enabled by default, drastically reducing size, then 4.0 drastically reduced size, then the build-optimizer (default with 5.0) drastically reduced size.

I love it.

It is small if I want to, but it has lots of features if I need them.

I don't have to worry about 3rd party libraries, because the official router, forms modules, http client, material components, flex layout etc. are all high-quality.

The CLI not only helps with new projects, but also makes testing, linting, building, serving, generating new components/services/etc. easy.

Implementing lazy loading with the router was easy, so that only the modules that I need for a certain route get loaded and my home site isn't 500kb+ for no good reason.

It has a predictable release schedule.

That sounds like work. With Angular, it's literally only

ng generate component my-component

Maybe if you live in a bay area startup filter bubble?

I don't see React "winning" on a major scale at corporations here in Europe.

Tbh I am quite shocked whenever I read about advances in React that Angular has had for quite a while.

"On iOS, we are using the WebKit engine, as provided by iOS in the WKWebView control. That means that from a compatibility perspective, Microsoft Edge for iOS should match the version of Safari that is currently available for iOS.

On Android, we are using the Blink rendering engine from the Chromium browser project."

They are actually using lots of Rust within Fuchsia/Magenta now and have been for months.

The first iteration was cancelled, this is the new iteration that launched yesterday.

Yeah @SwiftOnSecurity warned about this, lots of people/orgs affected

I have been using Windows 10 since before it released in 2015 and there was always an option to use a local account right in the installer.

The next big OS is going to be Google Fuchsia, which runs on the Magenta kernel (not Linux) and runs apps built with Flutter.

Inb4 nay-sayers, but if you have followed Fuchsia for a few months and have seen the speed of development and just how many people and new technologies are involved, you will see why this isn't even a question.

Thank you, that was really helpful!

1) I'm still new to this, but why would someone not use Angular Universal/why is it not default? I have only read positives, but am sure there must be a reason.

2) Why do we need Angular Material 2, when Google's official Material Components Web project is meant to be used with all kinds of frameworks and even has framework integration examples with Angular2: https://github.com/material-components/material-components-w...

3) Should I follow Quickstart or CLI Quickstart in the docs to get started? I have heard that the CLI is recommended nowadays, but the Angular 4.0 release blog says the CLI isn't even stable.
