But React was not batteries included, which is where the dependency hell came from; Angular comes with routing, API management, the works, but with React people quickly needed additional dependencies like state management (redux & co), routing, API calling, etc. While Angular feels big and heavy because it's a batteries included framework, React feels simple and quick on the surface, but as the article and the discussion show, it comes with its own price. Angular and React are not directly comparable.
