Angular apologist here. Learning curve is somewhat steep but I can be immediately productive in it and testing is built into the framework as a first-class citizen. Routing, debugging, state management, SSR, it’s all there. I like the separation of controllers, HTML, spec tests, and CSS because it allows the developer to reason about these separately. DX is damn good. In fact I recently whipped up a front-end UI in a few days using the BAEL stack (Bootstrap Angular Electron). You still need the data layer of course, but this would be true of any UI framework unless you want to go full monolith like Rails (which I still fully believe is a superb solution). And having done Rails, React, Angular, and a mishmash of other frameworks, libraries, and architectures, I can say that a “pure” Rails app out of the box is impressively good for most use cases, especially now with Turbo.
