And a Scania Trailer Truck is better than a Mercedes-Benz CLA 220.
It has more horsepower, much higher load capacity, the cabin should be more comfortable, you've more visibility while driving... but is slower.

React and Angular are joining in a single need which is building user interfaces.
Angular provides a huge toolkit to tackle other needs while React doesn't.

If you need anything that's not covered by Angular API (mostly any middle to big project) then you need to come up with something custom which will allegedly differ from any other angular project. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I get your point though, the complexity is the same it's just that in an Angular project it's already defined how to deal with a good part of it through the framework API while in react it needs to be defined each time. That also opens the door to a more fine-grained result regarding the project needs on the other hand.

This article was written for project managers, and developers just starting out learning software development. And as the title says; "Angular is almost always better than React" - Which I still stand by, given the context the article describes ...

Notice the word "always" and the article's context ... ;)

Edit - However, when that's said, a Volvo is almost always better than a Ferrari (for the same reasons) ...
