Hey guys

In this video I explain why I no longer use Angular and why I will now use React.js going forward from here.

I take into consideration

– How much each library is downloaded from npm
– How much popularity / issues each library has on Github
– The Google Trends for Angular vs React
– LinkedIn jobs for Angular
– LinkedIn jobs for React
– Number of questions shown on Stackoverflow for both Reactjs and Angular
– The number of overall searches for reach library (via the VidIQ tool)

References used in the video come from

Hopefully this gives you insight as to why Angular may be on it’s way out the door.
