Seems like Angular has gotten better since v2 (my last experience).

Has anyone done a modern Angular vs. React comparison that's not an AI slop article?

I'm also curious if it's "simple made easy" for performant applications. React is arguably "simple made hard", but there are notable, highly performant applications written with it (Linear comes to mind).

Angular Control Flow alone is a massive QoL improvement compared to the React way to do template conditions, switches, loops, etc.

Modern Angular is MUCH nicer to use than the v2 days (or even the v4 days when I first started working with it). A lot of the required boilerplate is unnecessary nowadays. And even RxJS and NgRX are becoming less and less necessary to use too, which is great.
