## Frequently Asked Questions

**Is MEAN stack still popular?**  
MEAN is well-established, especially in enterprise. However, React has more overall job postings. MEAN is a solid choice for structured, TypeScript-first development.

**MEAN or MERN for job opportunities?**  
MERN (React) has more startup jobs. MEAN (Angular) is stronger in enterprise. Both are valuable; React simply has higher total demand currently.

**Is Angular harder than React?**  
Angular has a steeper learning curve due to its comprehensive framework nature. React is simpler to start but requires choosing additional libraries. Both are learnable.

**Should I learn Angular if I know React?**  
It's valuable for versatility but not required. Focus on one framework deeply first. Learning Angular after React expands your options, especially for enterprise roles.
