Angular, as one of the most popular front-end development frameworks, is at a crossroads. The framework has seen years of improvements in performance, user experience, and new features, like the introduction of the Ivy rendering engine which led to the reduction of bundle sizes and runtime improvements. These developments have put the framework in a beneficial position. Now, the community can focus on more than just improving visible parts of the framework, the parts that directly impact user experience.
