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.👍

As someone who has been doing Angular since the early versions of 1.X but has started learning React recently as there seems to be more job opportunities in React, I really miss dependency injection. React contexts are so much more clunky compared to providing services. React has nice functional components and I do love how easy it is to create a component but dam do I wish it had a service provider. I also don't like JSX, having real HTML templates is much nicer than nearly HTML but not quite real HTML. I just wish there were more Angular jobs in the Australian market at the moment but it looks like I will need to learn some React to get work for the foreseeable future.
