A lot of open-source projects don't fail over time because the idea was bad. They fail because maintaining them is a lonely journey, and finding a successor is incredibly difficult.

Using an LTS Angular version matters as updates are not just about new exciting features, but bug fixes and security patches. The support policy and release schedule are explained in the official @angular.dev documentation. I updated Angular Can I Use to highlight these boundaries

In another universe, the default Angular prefix has always been `ng`, and it would make more sense than `app`, especially for directives! You can still customize it with your angular.json file.
