Angular has continuously held the position of top JavaScript framework. Itβs been years since AngularJS outpaced backbone.js, meteor.js, and ember.js. In 2019, the newcomer React has gained popularity with developers, but, Angular remains the framework of choice for enterprises worldwide.
Recently, Angular Jobs surveyed over two hundred Angular Developers. We wanted to find out what is important when choosing a JavaScript framework. And why they choose Angular.
Reasons To Choose Angular
An overwhelming amount of developers said it was the ease of use that makes them love Angular.
Many recognized the community as an important factor.
Most agreed that Angular represents the future of web development.
They say the feature set is cutting-edge and best-in-class.
Googleβs support of Angular was frequently mentioned.
Many enjoy the option to use Angular with TypeScript.
Additionally, well-designed components. Being up-to-date. Mobile technology. Ionic. Opinionated development. Performance at scale. Overall stability. The extensive documentation.
All of these reasons and more contribute to why top developers choose Angular. Donβt take it from us.

β Jason Maglangit
β @jasonmaglangit
The web has evolved exponentially in the last decade. Angular philosophy is that declarative programming is far more important than imperative programming when it comes to web development. It accomplishes this by extending the HTML and rendering a language for the development of dynamic web interfaces.
β @nelsonmfinda
My decisions are often straightforward. Iβm sitting down at a desk. I know I have some work to do and things to break and mend. What best way to accomplish it with what works best for you? So I have to be efficient and solidly be done with the task within the stipulated timings. And Angular seems to be that magic Perl for me.

AngularJS was my first JavaScript framework. Angularβs features, like two-way-binding, routing, performance, ease in making SPAβs, and Angular CLI, got me to liking it instinctively. And now I make hybrid applications with Ionic Framework and Angular. You can reach every platform by learning just one thing β Angular. Thatβs what makes Angular so important to me.

Working with Angular is important to me for several reasons. First, it is a fast-growing framework. The GitHub activity of Angular projects shows that. Itβs βownershipβ by Google is important for angular credibility and reputation. Itβs important to be current with your skills and I feel Angular developers are perceived as being very current. Angular uses typescript and thatβs very important to me. Lastly, the environment is very opinionated and the CLI brings a lot of consistency to angular projects. That means Iβm automatically a good fit for many projects because, in addition to knowing the framework, Iβm comfortable with the build process, DI, testing, routing and so on.
