The wrong question
"Angular vs React, which is better?" is the wrong question. Both are mature, well-supported, and can build the same things. The better question is: which one fits this specific project, team, and timeline? Here's how I actually think about it.
When I reach for Angular
Large, long-lived enterprise apps — Angular's opinionated structure (modules, services, DI) pays off when a team of 10+ devs needs consistency over years, not just weeks.
Teams that want batteries included — routing, forms, HTTP client, and testing tools all come built-in. Less time spent choosing libraries, more time building.
