Angular is a superior option. The React option started with resistance on the part of facebook and continues to tear down and recreate the code approach. Artificial inclusion of state management, reducers and premature browser rendering all part of problems with React. Add to the recent rewrite in React Hooks which forces you to throw away entire code bases and start over. React is a hot mess.

Thank you, I didn't know about these problems, I'm just another Angular dev tired of hearing "React is much better than Angular" ... :/

Artificial inclusion of state management

Angular has state managemnet too. What are you saying here?

reducers

Optional feature. I've built production grade eCommerce complicated apps that never once touched a reducer and it scaled very well.

Hmm, sounds just like AngularJS. I agree it's bad, and yet it's a problem all of web technology experiences, most importantly Angular itself.
