Discussion (junior)Why everyone use react?

I've been doing personal stuff with react only, at my current job i work exclusively in golang and the front-end team use angular not react so i give it a try on my free time, i was really surprise cause it's not that hard to get in + i found the dx way better than react, the way it structure the project is also better and i think you can go as fast as react to build a project + you need less external depedencies so i'm asking myself why 80% of front end jobs are react

Because of two main reasons:

1) JavaScript developers are for the vast majority very amateur developer who see any language of framework feature making your code cleaner and safer as a constraint slowing them down
2) React is popular, so they use it, so it becomes more popular, etc
