It’s unclear to me if you’re referring to AngularJS (as in v1) or Angular (v2+). I think that the future for the first is rather grim.

But frameworks will be frameworks and will probably be replaced by new solutions to (not yet) existing problems in the future. The risk of having to switch to another framework and leave a codebase full of unusable legacy code is imminent and always there.

That’s why I love another approach: Framework independent component libraries. Here are three reasons why.
