Angular presents patterns for handling complex web applications as well as having a set update and release schedule. It doesn't take the typical javascript ecosystem approach of offloading the majority of package development to the open source community. All the major angular packages are updated every 6 months with breaking changes, insuring these packages all work together. No need to look out for a router, animations library, forms library, etc. A team member can switch teams and expect to work with the same tools. All the mainstream frameworks are great tools. I'd say if you're looking at React, Vue or Angular and think "Dunno why anyone would use that, must just be the "we've always used x here"" than I'd say rethink your approach to "it's probably a good tool for their use case".

It’s not “them”, though. It’s me! :D I have never witnessed an evaluation or discussion of tools for a project. Ever. Neither open-ended nor otherwise. I’ve worked on diverse projects for various clients (since Angular 2 arrived) and Angular was either an explicit requirement by the client or a team decision. There were no arguments, ever. The people I worked with were never particularly knowledgeable. In fact, for non-trivial use cases, I feel that Angular is actually hostile to young professionals. RxJS in particular is a topic I’ve seen people struggle with a lot. Can you achieve success with Angular? Absolutely. I don’t feel it’s any easier than with React or even AngularJS though. (No experience with Vue.)

  > I feel that Angular is actually hostile to young professionals I am not sure about that, it is more that the full stack of technologies for current SPA is daunting for new developers. When learning react one just go to one part at a time, first rendering, then props, now learn to use the router library. When using angular one can feel overwhelmed because all the panel of tools is presented in one repo.
