Not web developer. Doesn't React and Angular have a low barrier enough?

  Angular - oh hell no. React - yes, as long as you don't have to setup the compiler (ie: use create-react-app) and you know javascript (specifically ES6+) reasonably well.

    Why do u think angular has a high barrier to entry? In my experience 40% of angular knowledge gets you 80% of what you need to do and this 40% isn't that time consuming or difficult to learn.

      There's just a lot more API to learn for angular before you can be truly productive. While the react API is comparatively simpler/smaller...

      I mostly think it's because Angular is the whole package, it comes with a set of standards and concepts that you have to stick too. Where React still kinda lets you do whatever you want, it has the concept of components, but other than that there's not much to it. We use Angular at work, just because it comes with that set of standards, we don't really have to introduce our own rules, but they're already there.
