Aurelia vs “just Angular” a.k.a “the framework formerly known as Angular 2”
summary
Compares concrete tradeoffs: Angular defaults to TypeScript-first, requires zone.js and often RxJS while Aurelia defaults to ES2015-first and ships with Bluebird and RequireJS (Aurelia also offers TypeScript support). CLI differences: Angular CLI hides Webpack but ng eject produces a webpack config, Aurelia CLI offers guided skeletons and feature folders. Aurelia favors convention/MVVM with automatic view/viewmodel pairing; Angular forces explicit modules/components. Testing uses Jasmine/Karma/Protractor. Angular Universal already does server rendering; Aurelia has a proof‑of‑concept. Size: prod Angular ~312 KB, Aurelia ~395 KB. StackOverflow activity heavily favors Angular.
