On what are you basing that assertion? I'm primarily a back-end developer, so I'm not necessarily disputing it. However, every other recruiter who contacts me asks about Angular experience, whereas I have yet to encounter a single React job listing in the wild.
I do agree that React seems to get a bit more chatter and cheerleading on HN and Reddit recently... but I never know how much of that chatter is legit professional usage, versus what people are tinkering with in their personal side projects. If I took web forums at face value, I would be under the impression that Rust is taking over the enterprise right now.
