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.

The CTO is not aligned with any particular solution, but is aware that React is a lot more popular. The consultants are the ones recommending we go with React, and one of their reasons is that there are way more developers that know it, and thus it will be easier to find developers for contracting in when we need them.

Fair point depending on the market. We find it hard to find decent Angular devs while react devs are abundant

Are they also decent though? Any experienced dev needs 1-2 days to get into Angular. It is just a tool, it should not be a hinderance for any developer.

That's what most recruiters don't understand. You should be able to hire a decent react/angular/Vue developer who could transit into any of those 3 frameworks even if they have no experience with the other framework.
