Tag Helpers can be like an old fashioned macro, one small bit of markup on the page and you can get a lot of time-saving HTML created.

You get this with HTML Helpers as well.

If you are using PoMVC (plain old MVC) views you'll probably find after a while there's similar looking chunks of code all over the app, and depending on the size of the site, these repetitive code chunks might be moved into tag helpers. IMO makes for easier changes later.

Also you can create your own HTML Helpers and you could even use partials for this...

If you like living dangerously, try out: SPA[^]
where I use Tag Helpers in ASP.Net Core MVC partial views to serve my SPA it's HTML views

To be honest I lost faith in Angular team a long time ago, but nevertheless again you could have just used the HTML Helpers to achieve the same.
For example, in one occasion I used them for adding Vuetifyjs components.

In short, I'm not sure if you just wanted to post a link to your article or if you really believe that there is something valuable that Tag Helpers provide over HTML Helpers...
