"My world with Angular"

5/5

What do you like best about Angular?

I have come to create a great project with Angularjs, which I felt excited about, but nevertheless knowing Angular changed all the emotion.

Thanks to the fact that it is component oriented, I can reuse it in other Angular projects without making so much effort.

The other thing that I love is that typeScript provides early detection of errors (at compile time), and strong typing of classes, methods, as well as existing JavaScript objects and APIs.

Other things that I like, is its installation, thanks to Angular CLI, which facilitates installing and configuring this framework, it has really been very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Angular?

So far there is nothing that I dislike Angular, everything has been great, I'm in a Honeymoon stage with Angular in which I have fallen in love every day that I implement in my applications, in my opinion this will be the framework from the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Angular:

AngularJS and Angular are very different both in terms of the way of working and the concepts that underlie both technologies.

In my personal opinion, I recommend 100% Angular, since it is much easier to maintain, Angular offers the possibility to choose between several languages when programming. To write Angular code you can use any of the languages: ECMAScript 5 of all life, ES6, TypeScript or even Dart (from Google). While with Angular 1.x you can use ES5, ES6 and Dart.

Being able to use TypeScript is a big step forward since it's a great way to write JavaScript. TypeScript is the default language to develop in Angular, and the one you will undoubtedly want to use. Most of the documentation that you will find out there will be created with TypeScript, so you must learn it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Angular solving and how is that benefiting you?

Regarding the applications that I have developed, this framework has benefited me to reuse the code, creating for me a set of libraries which I use in many projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Angular is not bad...but React is much better"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Angular?

I think Angular is really good. Compared to the state of other front end technologies back in 2015, Angular's ability to idiomatically update models in the Javascript runtime and what is displayed on the page was quite ground breaking. For sure, it gets the job done and is great for prototyping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Angular?

I'm going to mostly compare it to React. Angular's community is weakening by the day. It's updates are slow compared to React's. It's not functional so it doesn't write as cleanly. It's also pretty hard to debug. You have to select some element on the page type in some esoteric snippet into the Javascript console just to view it's state.

"All in one web development"

5/5

What do you like best about Angular?

Angular allows me to create awesome Single Page Applications with straightforward usage. I like to use routing with LazyLoading most.In addition, I like to use typescript with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Angular?

I think there is nothing to dislike with Angular CLI. They have enormous documentation on angular.io

I can easily chase any issue over forums and find solutions for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Angular:

React and Vue users can give a shot at using Angular. You can see some positive differences in Angular beside React and Vue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Angular solving and how is that benefiting you?

I realized that development of a web project with typescript and angular is helping me a lot to write code and structure. Easy to use, error handles, testing etc these are some best parts of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"good enough"

4/5

What do you like best about Angular?

1. The dependency-injection system and its flexibility.

2. official tooling for build and deploy

3. official style guide to help people organize their code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Angular?

1. forced to use OOP (classes)

2. if not using Typescript, I will get very hard time with unclean code and lack of examples

3. building project for prod takes very long amount of time (+5m in my case on very powerful machine)

4. in my opinion and experience, there are some critical bugs that are not resolved for a long time, and community PRs got closed without merging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Angular:

If you are familiar (and like) OOP, you will find yourself at home - if not, then you will have some hard time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Angular solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Angular in almost every project I got involved in. I used it to build shiny cross-platform mobile apps, large consumers web apps, and internal tools for large enterprises.

The biggest benefit of Angular is that it has everything you need to build modern apps (web or mobile), eg out-of-box modules for dependency injection, http client, client-side router, unit-testing utils, e2e testing utils. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great front-end web UI framework"

5/5

What do you like best about Angular?

You can develop quickly with component templates. Angular provides specific assistance and feedback with nearly most common IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Angular?

The online documentation needs updates and more short examples for various sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Angular:

I strongly suggest using Angular.io in your next web application development. It has the following advantages for large web projects:

Re-usability, Encapsulation and interchangeability to access component data, using Two-way data binding, building data model RxJS, high performance and zero-step installation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Angular solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been using Angular since 2012 and it has been a great framework for enterprise web based architectures. I really like the front-end component web based development and it has been very useful in single page architecture. This framework is a cross platform for rapid web app development for building desktop apps across Mac, Windows, and Linux and it provides the same Angular methods for all these platforms. Angular framework is fully supports the following: web components, Typescript language, great performance and fantastic simplicity of the user interface. The Angular CLI is very nice and it is easy to create an application that it is on going and supports the best practices for every day projects. I have noticed that Angular apps load much quicker with component Router and it supports code splitting which means only required codes are rendered for viewing a display request.

"A gateway to the wealth of knowledge on the top-3 framework"

5/5

What do you like best about Angular?

Comprehensive, covers in-depth examples, has thorough API documentation, updated on-time, maintains historical documentation of past major versions (e.g. v2, v4, current). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Angular?

Deprecation traceability is limited in documentation. For example, if your code was against a minor version 4.1, and some elements were deprecated in 4.2, the website doesn't maintain examples pertinent to version 4.1 anymore. I'd like to have a full copy of the docs for each minor version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Angular:

This is not a platform as a service - this is just a reference website for one of the greatest modern development frameworks in the world - Angular. I think Angular team is heading in the right direction, doesn't "shoe-box" all of the features, is very open to using third-party frameworks and languages (Typescript, I'm looking at you). Angular has a great following, on par with React at the moment, and a diverse ecosystem of products around it (UI - Angular Material; Dev Tools - VS Code, WebStorm, Layout - fxFlex, languages - JS, TypeScript) and has a large, avant-garde tech company behind it. I think it's here to stay, and a (somewhat steep) learning curve still justifies the end result without a doubt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Angular solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ramps up developer training in Angular, starting with theory (architecture of Angular) and all the way thru development tools. I find that referring new developers to specific examples on Angular.io eventually demonstrates to them how easy it is to find consistent information on the website, and gets them hooked on reading further examples independently and exploring framework in-depth.
