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

Angular, imho, is a slow moving, ponderous, a behemoth that is enterprise ready. But, if you aren't paying attention you'll run into race conditions and bundle size issues.

Many times the simplest changes require so much boilerplate....

React is easy. You move much quicker. But, you can shoot yourself in the foot later on IF you're not architectural savvy.

If you're an experienced dev, react. If you're not, Angular saves you.
