I recently had a discussion with colleagues about React vs. Angular for enterprise applications. I'd like to bring this discussion to the dev.to community as well.

The core arguments were:

1. React comes with less built-in tools than Angular. Therefore, React setups need to complement vanilla React by installing open-source dependencies. This makes the on-boarding of new developers to a project built with React more difficult, as any unknown dependencies need to be learned first. Whereas Angular has necessary concepts and tools built-in, which Angular developers already know and therefore have a quicker on-boarding to a new project.

2. Angular uses Typescript by default and is built with Typescript in mind. React isn't. Certain patterns in React are hard or cumbersome to type correctly. As Typescript is generally preferred over JS in enterprise projects, Angular is the better choice.
