Why is Angular a superior framework for enterprise applications?

Why is Angular generally a better framework for frontend development? You don't have to reinvent the wheel, google thought about important classes in typescript to accomplish just what you need, hence the important transition from angularjs to angular2 +.

React and Vuejs are more similar to one another and are not using the tools included in Angular. Also the framework keep being improved from one version to another. Though you can import different libraries in both frameworks, sometimes trying to do what Angular does, you must rely on what the community can do, often needing more code than what you would expect with Angular, sometimes less scalable and maintainable.

An important critic for React and Vue is that for enterprise applications you can get a lot of code more difficult to maintain also coming from libraries you may not know before.

The main objective argument about the 3 frameworks is that one is more suited for enterprise or larger applications to maintain and scale up, while the others though you may find more developers for them, are more suited originally for simpler one page applications. Frameworks for frontend development are quite new. Before Angular2 in 2016, Google introduced the Single Page Applications with Angularjs in 2010 which made the world take a new direction in web development.

Since then, people were used to develop with pure javascript and not with a single page application (SPA). Each page were rendered by the server. Developers were usually always working with a server side language since all applications were relying more on the server for each page. That made the transition towards a SPA framework more difficult for all developers since they had to learn something quite new. This transition is still difficult and on going in some way as more developers look often for frameworks relying on pure typescript or pure javascript since they don't need to learn a new paradigm.

The result is that obviously more developers rely on react and vuejs, but the 2 frameworks are still closer to Angularjs than Angular2+, though I agree they keep improving and can have similarities with new libraries.

Vuejs developer

Angular2 HttpClient, dependancy injections, operators, observables (and it's not just for reactivity or state management but also to manage often complex asynchronus operations), animations, ease of simply using your json data and a framework always being maintained with the best standards is number one for frontend development.

Programming can be simple like this and without headaches.  It's always about how you maintain your application and it requires clear and precise implementation.

When you discover angular, you want to keep these simple and precise standards instead of maintaining a lot of code where it's easy to get lost especially for other developers. Also a lot of developers coming from other frameworks will tend to use Angular like react or like the previous era of javascript development and most of the time will also use ngrx which you don't need for state management in Angular. Behavior subject and dependancy Injections does an amazing job for all projects with much less code to maintain.
