I started with angular and due to my limited spare time I simply dont have the time to learn both. I'm very interestend in React but focusing on angular (and angular 2 in the near future) sounds more promising (based on random articles and news).

Do you think switching to react would be worth it? My angular pages are not very complex and I'm still relatively new to angular so switching could be possible.

There's not much to learn about React, compared to AngularJS, which is huge (and pointless IMO).

For example, look at this: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngOptions

Why would you want to learn this kind of obscure syntax, just to make a simple select input (and still be limited in what you can do)? You don't need this kind of stuff in React because you build your views with pure Javascript and HTML.

Well, I believe React is the right way to do JavaScript UIs until something even better comes along.

It's not about Facebook - it's about the design that promotes "functionality" and modularity etc. That's the big deal.

Angular and Ember are both needlessly complicated to begin with, but even more so because of all the two-way state-mangling going on.

So yes, switching to React will be ever-increasingly worth it, because the benefits of not having to deal with Angular will keep compounding over time.

So instead of "opportunity costs", you'll have "opportunity benefits" :P
