  • My company uses it for a couple of “legacy” applications. Though all new applications are on Angular.

    I think the shift was because of the complexity of the project. In my company, Java devs were busy implementing core business logic, batch jobs, fixing production issues or enhancements. So they didn’t have enough bandwidth for UI maintenance and enhancement. Plus when it came to that, most UI developers you could find in the job market were JS/CSS guys.

    So management made a decision to shift to Angular for UI and Java for back end work. Delineating both as separate concerns.

    However I do think that having Java teams for both UI and back end might be more agile. But realistically I think it depends on the circumstances.
