HTML5+JQuery vs AngularJS

[P00HB33R]

So I have been checking out angularjs lately. Looks good.

I myself am using ASP.NET WebAPI/MVC+HTML+JQuery+Bootstrap for most of my devs.

So, is there any real benefit for me moving to AngularJS?

Would love to hear what you guys think...

AngularJS was replaced by Angular

Angular is a framework that helps you implement the following easier. Obviously you could implement the following using plain JS/JQuery, but Angular does all the heavy lifting for you.

1. SPA - Single Page Application like Gmail. Create websites that are more responsive and offers app like experience.
2. PWA - Progressive Web Apps
3. Cross platform desktop apps like this
4. A single API endpoint can be used for Angular webapps, mobile app, desktop app, etc.

I noticed that Investec recently upgraded their website to Angular and Standard Bank's 'New' internet banking site uses Angular.

If you intend on still using mvc, and want help with more complicated UI in your razor temples I would recommend angularjs over Angular.

If you however want to just use Web API, with a JavaScript frontend, then Angular over angularjs.

This. Have integrated AngularJS and MVC nicely but it can be a pain to do it 100%.
Working on a project currently with Angular frontend that calls WebAPI.

Think the most important thing here is to identify early on who your target audience or clients target audience is. Some angular apps can get quite big and if you don't know how to optimise then you will potentially have issues. If you know you target audience has quick connection speeds then no problem, if they don't then could be a problem.
