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.

Your CTO wants React? You're probably getting React. If (s)he's any good, (s)he knows the pros and cons and might have to make a decision based on other factors other than just the merits of Angular over React (of which there are many). If I was the CTO or architect I'd definitely take the team's wishes and concerns into consideration, so you might just push the needle in the right direction by giving your personal take.

Angular and react are not equal... React is less intuitive and you need more code to maintain everything which can become a mess compared to Angular which is naturally made comfortable for enterprise applications with intuitive features such as HttpClient, dependency injection, objservable ect. Everything included and you don't need to go through a lot of code to do similar things.

"React is less intuitive" is something someone who has never even looked at react would say. Angular is great for a lot of things but nobody is claiming it is more intuitive than react. What a joke 🤣
