I quite like Angular, it's a bit lite Django with batteries included. Very organized, TypeScript(!), reusable components, easy to write tests, create models, call Rest end-points for data, routing, make lazy loaded modules, scss and so on. Documentation is superb. It took me only a few days to learn and become productive.

I tried React but it felt very incomplete and to get things done beyond the basic tutorial I had to go all over blogs, articles and forums to find instructions (often incomplete or out-of-date). Still it required a complicated process to get data from a SpringBoot server (I was told I need to add Redux, then some other http library for the actual calls. Then try to tie everything together... well, I gave up.)

That was a year ago and I'm sure it's better now, but Angular at that time was very mature compared to the hackish React.

i wonder how many react apps are out there with just state management via container components...
