- datavirtue 5y agoI have professional experience in Angular and it is simply a framework for building applications. It hits that out of the park. I genuinely tried React and had to ditch it. Way too much drama just to manage state. It is clearly for building components, not applications. I don't think comparing the two is relevant. Angular gets in your way if you are just building components but it unleashes a deluge of productivity instantly if you need to build an application--especially for a team.
- arenaninja 5y agoTo me scaling this Angular codebase has been more challenging than it was to scale React codebases for collaboration across multiple projects and teams. Going through NgModule instead of using plain node packages is my main gripe here; coincidentally this is also what gets in your way if you're trying to build reusable dumb components in Angular I almost like ngrx because it reduces boilerplate, but I don't understand why their createAction helper doesn't follow Flux Standard Action; I can't be convinced this isn't a design flaw
