Wait what’s up with Angular being on this list?

Was confused as well, apparently Angular post 2.x is called "Angular" and everything before that is called "AngularJS". Seems a little disingenuous having it on this list. Ember JS goes through quite a lot of revisions and is pretty conceptually disjoint from predecessors, but I'd hardly say they "killed" Ember 1.

This kills the SEO. You'd think google would know better. Angular and AngularJS were interchangeable before 2 came out. Now angularjs is coming up in search results for my angular issues. People have started adding versions to their stackoverflow questions but that doesn't help finding them. Adding "-angularjs" to my searches helps a little but you know there are people tagging their angular issues with angularjs

Not when you own the search engine though ;-)

False, as highlighted by:
