Satisfaction at 45% is the highest it's been since 2017. It's only lower on the chart because of all the new and shiny (and unused!) frameworks created later.

It is literally the second most used js framework in the survey.

While I am no fan of angular, I think angular is on right track. Once they support non-NgModule and vite, their satisfaction will improve.

Angular is like Java, it will always exist in enterprise. There will aways be jobs, it's just not "sexy".
