Angular vs React 2018

React is now at v16.*. It has been changing since it has been released, of-course for better, but what does this mean for the developers. It means that they need to relearn new syntaxes, features constantly while dealing with deprecations, discontinued libraries, etc.
The React surface area is significantly smaller than Angular. The changes developers have needed to adapt to are relatively small. I'm skeptical of any "Angular vs React" article, and this wasthe moment I dropped out of this one.

As someone who maintains AngularJS code for his job, fuck AngularJS. Overcomplicated, hard-to-maintain, takes longer to accomplish the same tasks in it than it does in React.js.
Fuck AngularJS.

I have a question, Do you think too that Angular is less popular now than React as mentioned in this blog: Angular vs React 2018
Either way, keep up the great work!

"steep learning curve" === "easy to learn"
Basically, it means each new unit of time brings a lot of knowledge.
"shallow learning curve" === "hard to learn".

That's not how it works lol. "Steep learning curve" is used to mean hard in every single context I've seen it in.
I see your logic but you can't just take a widely accepted phrase and flip the meaning.

A layman heard the scientific term, misunderstood it and started using it out of context. Here you are now defending misuse of the term.
Do not believe me, look up in wiki.

Yes I'm defending the misuse, since it's a widely accepted way to describe something hard. To redefine it now is pedantic and doesn't help drive the conversation at all.

I get the feeling this author has never written anything in angular, react or vue...🧐
