React occupies a very similar place today as angular did back in the day, and angular is on life support, if that.

I don't know what argument you think you are making. React was released in 2011 whereas AngularJS was released in 2010 and Angular2+, what we actually call Angular, was released in 2014.

So your counter examples of popularity are projects what at best started out at the same time as React but unlike React winded down in popularity.

After over a decade l, React is not only the most popular framework by far but also is the support framework for a few of the top 10 frameworks.

So what point did you thought you were making? That React managed to become the dominant framework whereas your examples didn't?
