I don't know what you guys are doing with your Angular buttons, or if you haven't looked at it since AngularJS (which I never used, so I don't know what it took there).

Adding a button to Angular is just adding a <button> to your template. If you want to use Angular Material, that's one additional import in your component's code file, and one additional attribute for that template's <button> element.

  import {MatButtonModule} from '@angular/material/button';

  <button matButton (click)="onClick()">Click me!</button>

Just at least have a look at the documentation or tutorial before spreading fibs like that.

There was also the actual Java of web frameworks, GWT

I think that's simple: because they are financially invested in them. That's obvious for the developers working on the frameworks themselves or building libraries / plugins / UI-themes for them, but I believe it's also correct for "normal" developers who build things with these frameworks.

They know these frameworks and can use them, and they've made an investment in time to get to that point. Likely they're also making at least some of their money _because_ they know these frameworks. Emotional attachment follows the economic attachment, and then you'll get plenty of rationalizations.

sure, but I suppose you can observe that they do? And hence

>Wars, battles, personalities on social media

become reasonable narratives to engage in to describe what is actually happening in the social activities that form around these tools

You can ignore all the phrasings of wars or battles or winning and losing, and you can also ignore that social media has consequences.

We can agree that frameworks are just tools. And as tools we can coldly think about trends and other meta-facts, including questions on popularity. We don't need to think about popularity in terms of winning or losing either, just numbers that move around so we can use them as predictors of mindshare and career opportunities.

And in that sense, the right tool that fits the job often includes an analysis on popularity, especially because the best tool is often one that you and your colleagues already know.

We're living in the same universe. When you read the documentation you see something. I'm just giving the story behind it.

You don't need generic answers about people wanking each other off for "think affiliates".
