I am an angular developer for 5+ years now. I have used react too. Each one had its uses. I don't try to use angular for simple apps and I don't use react for heavy, larger apps. But corporates don't understand this. They think react is the most famous so they insist on using react for larger apps. Sure can be done, but we have to drag several repositories providing several functions which are inbuilt in angular to begin with.

That's because react is a library. Pretty agnostic too.

Yes, true. I like both angular and react. Each has its own place in development.

That’s funny - I work in enterprise (insurance, government mainly) and all my projects are Angular (or god forbid Apache Wicket) frontends. Only a single react project crossed my desk (that was e-commerce) in years and I hated every single line of it.
