Angular is developed by Google and has several developer-celebrities evangelizing it on the web daily, speaking at conferences ever other week, etc. It would be shocking if Angular weren't the most popular framework.


That's because poor Angular documentation. People start googling like crazy to find what they need.


Brilliant point; it's not just that the docs are poor, inherently the framework is so obscure that you need to either be an Angular savant or constantly Googling only to find half the inbuilt functionality cannot be made responsive!


Interesting point. And projects like Django probably not very 'popular' because of good documentation.


Agree. What set apart a project from another is the quality and amount of documentation, also tutorials, articles, books and reviews(it help a lot on the popularity context).


Agree.


And yet GWT never caught on like this. Just because Google's backing a project it does not guarantee success.


are you kidding? GWT is heavily used in the enterprise world. A lot of java developpers just dont want to touch javascript code.
