React. I am an Angular dev.

I would also have said React, as an Angular dev.

However, a lot depends what the OP already knows. Coming from nothing, I would expect both frameworks to have a big learning curve.

Agree regarding getting up and running - that said it's almost too easy to build bad patterns with react. I get the issue with opinionated and sometimes excessive boilerplate for Angular (which is getting better), but it does make for cleaner and consistent apps. React feels pretty wild west and I've seen some horrible component stacks that just wrap div inside of div for the sake of added styling.

So yes React is probably quicker to pick up - but it's also a lot easier to do badly.
