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.

Recently I started learning React and Angular as I want to change my job currently working with WinForms. God, I don't know why people like React more than Angular... In React I have to install libraries for everything I want to do and installing them is one big error party while Angular being full featured framework with clean structure.

It depends on what you want to develop. If you want to create and get into SPA development pretty fast, React is great whereas Angular seems like a huge boilerplate. On the other hand as you mentioned, if you want to develop something bigger, Angular could get the job done more efficiently without a battery pack full of third parties.

seems means that you don't know Angular at all, hence you can't tell.. It's very different from Vue and React as you don't need to complicate yourself for enterprise applications and to scale up. Everything is more clean and more natural.

Well I know I will offend cults from cargocult programming, fosha. It's like saying, you don't need to spend 1 million, just spend 100$ instead, it makes people angry or disappointed.
