Angular 2 Reactive Forms vs Template Forms

Issue

We are starting a new Angular 2 project and are considering whether to use Reactive Forms or Template Forms. Background reading here: https://angular.io/guide/reactive-forms

As far as I can tell, the biggest advantage of Reactive Forms is that they're synchronous, but we have simple forms and I don't think asynchronicity will cause us issues. There seems to be much more overhead with Reactive, on the surface more code to do the same things.

Can someone provide a solid use case where I would use Reactive over the simpler Template Forms?

Solution

This is a slide from my course on Forms in Pluralsight. Some of these points may be arguable, but I worked with the person from the Angular team that developed Forms to put together this list.
