I think it’s an overstatement to say that Google maintaining Angular “means nothing”. Yes, a team of 100 can vanish in a day. Or it could NOT vanish, and therefore you have a team of quality developers who are paid to work on that framework, vs. other frameworks that may lack that support. Yes, Google will turn their back on it some day, but it will probably be when it’s deemed obsolete or no longer very relevant. And since it’s open source, is it really any worse off after Google stops working on it that any other framework that already lacks the backing of a company like that? I think what really matters is traction among developers and products. If it’s being used and it’s open source, people will maintain it as long as they need to.
