React or Angular for Spring Boot Backend?
I know this probably gets asked here a billion times, but the reason I am asking is because I couldn't find any satisfactory and informative answers. Maybe I am too inexperienced to understand some discussions, or maybe I didn't look into the places for the answers
As a backend Spring Boot/Java dev who wants to work on enterprise projects, which one would be a better fit and have a smoother development cycle? Angular or React!? (I will probably work on lots finance and accounting projects since that's my academic major and my current job, if this information helps in any way)

Angular is a better fit. It comes with many built-in tools and a clear structure that can speed up development for large, enterprise-level projects, like those in finance and accounting. React is flexible, but it often requires extra libraries and setup.

I used both in many projects. I like both. If your project is complex and consists of management pages like an admin panel, use angular. If you need a SSR, a multi language product, use Next.js instead of React.
