How to Choose Lightning Web Components or Aura

As it is simple to develop Lighting Web Components, it’s always better to choose a Lighting Web Component. Then there might be a question why Aura?

We go to Aura as LWC doesn’t support all the features in Aura, so when you want to create something more than LWC we use Aura Components.

LWC components can be created and Wrapped in Aura Components for better features in a simple way.
