I build apps for work now using React and Node. I used Angular 1 in the past and I think React is more flexible and faster and I can navigate through my files better. The only thing that frustrates me sometimes is how much some parts of the library have changed over the last 6-months even, so old tutorials aren’t always accurate. Still, Angular did a much bigger overhaul so I am very happy working with React right now.

Hi,

Angular is an open-source framework use to create frond-end web development. React is a JavaScript open-source library with a JSX compiler use to construct user interfaces.
Angular is a complete structural framework that is used for developing dynamic web applications. Unlike Angular, React only will not be sufficient to build a complete functional web apps. React requires many libraries to build a complete web application.

I am learning Angular and it is extremely frustrating… that being said Angular is made by Google and has a HUGE following. Looking at jobs at least in my area I see a lot of companies looking for Angular as a skill. However, a lot of companies say they want experience with Angular, React, or Vue. So YMMV to be honest depending on your area etc. Vue is very simple to pick up and fast to develop in but I have a lot of issues getting components to play nice for some reason.

TL;DR: Angular is a PITA to learn but seems to be very sought after. I will continue to suffer through until I learn it for that very reason.

Cheers!

After a lot of consideration I’ve decided to learn Vue.js as my first framework. It’s pretty cool so far (and easy to understand) :slightly_smiling_face:

Vue.js is easy to learn and can be immediately productive.

Two way binding in Vue.js is quite simple when you use v-model. In React its a long way down.
Vue doesn’t require Webpack.
It’s Guide and API reference are awesome!
Supports server-side rendering, helping you with SEO, and makes your site viewable by people with Javascript disabled.
Vue.js is easy to use and is slowly gaining popularity.
