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.
