vue vs @angular/core: which is more popular?
| package | npm / week | real installs / week | noise | confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vue | 24,977,684 | 25M | under 1% | high |

Noise: the share of npm's count that mirror spikes and crawlers account for. What remains still includes CI and dependency installs.
Snapshot from the daily build of Nov 6, 2026, last 7 days of npm data. With JavaScript on, this page recomputes it live with a 12-month chart.
By real installs, vue is ahead of @angular/core by about 3.0×: about 25M vs 8.35M a week. npm's raw counts are 24,977,684 for vue and 8,347,920 for @angular/core, which include mirrors, scanners and crawlers. Mirror spikes and crawlers removed. CI and dependency installs still count, so this is not a head count.
How the estimate works
- Cut the spike every new version gets from mirrors in its first days.
- Subtract the flat floor robots download from every version each week.
- Show what is left as a range, with a confidence level. It still includes CI and dependency installs, so it is not a count of people.
