First React is not a framework its just a library unlike what Angular is. Angular is a complete framework with routing, material and other built in features. I like react but for small projects but for large projects I prefer Angular than React. Great insight but lack on research. Angular is better than react. Please see the new updates on Angular and you will be astonish on how Angular came to be.

React is not a framework

I'm aware it's a UI library. I use the term loosely as many in the industry do because of the way real world apps are built with React Router, Redux, etc. Plus all of this is moot as semantics of what is considered a framework or library isn't the focus of the article.

Angular is better than react

I respect your opinion and I love what Angular, Vue.js, Ember, and other frameworks are doing. Framework choice is not a war and again goes against the point of the article.

Great insight but lack on research

I guess I'll take a compliment where I can get it.

I've found that react only folks are the ones that love this library argument. But all that matters is load time and render time. Load times with lazy loading makes that point mostly a non argument.

Finally run time rendering times are about the same for both.
