AngularJS is deprecated and no longer supported outside of ServiceNow, but we will still be creating and supporting portal widgets years into the future.

@rosemaryg for working with ServiceNow AngularJS is still relevant. And will be for awhile. There are 1000s of customers with portals deployed that they continue to invest in. Also learning the Next Experience UI Framework (UI Builder) will help if you are working on other parts of the platform.
