Hi Leob. Thanks for mentioning React. Answering your question could be a separate post entirely (and there are many "Angular vs React" posts out there). To me however, the short answer comes down to personal preference and what you want to build.

In my opinion, while you can use React for larger scale applications, it's better suited for smaller applications or websites that needs to get the most out of SEO because of the GatsbyJS and NextJS libraries. Angular is just much better suited for larger scale applications because of the way it structures it's code and all the things it includes the moment you create a new application (routing, reactive forms, RxJS etc).
