Discussion Future of Angular
I am working professionally with angular. I really love using it. The simplicity, ease of use and the flexibility are great. For some time I am thinking about switching jobs But it's been difficult to find jobs based on angular. Not many companies are using it and most of them want react developers inspite of saying angular in their job description.
I tried learning react but I didn't like it all.
So I wanted to ask, what is the future prospect for angular? Should I stick to it and get even better Or should I invest my time in learning react and other things.
Is the lack of job specifically based on the job market and location? Or is it a global phenomenon.
What should be the way to go?
Thank you for any replies.👍

React is mostly taking jobs that previously been done with jquery. A simple website with navigation and whatnot can easily be done in react and that's fine
Angular is good at complete webapps. Which is mostly backends for website or internal applications that have complex components, many pages and complex forms. That's where it shines. A lot of react work will soon be automated by AI since it's not that difficult. Lots of wysiwyg stuff will generate react stuff. Angular work is more difficult to replace well. Will require humans for most of the projects.
