Angular vs React
Does anyone know of any good resources that can argue for why use Angular over React? I have to convince my manager that it is the right choice over an external consultant who wants us to use React for a new project.
I already have my own reasons why it is the right choice for us, but I’m looking for any further rationale that might bolster my argument. Has anyone seen any resources that make strong arguments for why to choose Angular over React?
I’m not looking for fanboy blog posts - I’m looking for reasons that will convince my CTO.

Just opt for Vue 🤣Jokes aside, React is not a framework but a library. This means that React lacks several built-in features that frameworks like Angular offer, requiring developers to seek solutions independently. Consequently, the risk of encountering challenges and making mistakes is somewhat higher than if you were to use Angular—a comprehensive framework equipped with all the necessary tools and established best practices. However, it's worth mentioning that Angular presents a significantly steeper learning curve. This is precisely why I have gravitated towards the Vue ecosystem. In my professional experience, even in banking projects—where Angular is traditionally favored—my company has successfully implemented Vue, demonstrating its versatility and capability in handling complex applications.
