I picked React over Angular in 2015 and havn’t looked back. I’ve never done, nor been asked to do a rewrite. I once interviewed for a role that would have involved a rewrite from Angular to React. My current employer has a design system and UI library to implemenet it. Some time before I joined, they decided to move from Stencil-driven support for React, Angular and one other framework, to pure React support. From 50-60 applications I made late 2024-2025 one used Lit one Svelt, maybe 10-15 Angular and the rest React. In previous rounds of job or contract hunting, I don’t recall seeing demand for anything other than the big two.

I live and work in London. I’ve basically not seen this culture of constant churn and rewrites that people on HN bemoan since about 2018.
