I'm an Angular/Vue developer who's dabbled in React, and I appreciate articles who can do this (look at the positives, vs. try and feed their confirmation bias.)

When I use react, I love the feeling of freedom it gives. You as the developer are free to make decisions about everything, giving the feeling of freedom and power.

With Angular I feel like a lot of developers have a feeling of resentment when the framework highlights errors when they stray from the Angular Way™ of doing things. This feeling of resentment doesn't factor in with React because it simply lets you make decisions, and if it works, it works.

React also plays nicely embedded as small components in larger application that might already be opinionated on how the HTML and JavaScript is served. This makes it easy to sprinkle in a little React to get the job done, which simply isn't possible with Angular. With Angular's opinions you must morph your whole project to fit within it, you can't just sprinkle components in here and there (it was even difficult to do this back in the days of AngularJS).

I enjoyed this article, thank you!
