Is React Better than Angular?

[@CodingAbroad]

Best part about Angular - the form builder just itself is far better than any of the form libraries associated with React or Vue

Thanks for sharing your insight :)

Amazing video - You answered all my questions through the end of the video. Definitely glad I watched the whole thing ! I learned a lot!

[@GavinLon]

Thanks so much for your kind comment. I appreciated it! :) I'm really glad you enjoyed this video!

[@unhandledexception1948]

is the usage of hooks really a simple concept ? what is so hard about angular ? I never understood the arguement that react is simpler to learn..... perhaps for small to do list apps, but not in a real world app

[@GavinLon]

I personally don't find Angular all that difficult but I believe it is generally acknowledged that React is easier to learn than Angular. I would recommend learning React first and then progressing to Angular but there is nothing wrong with starting with Angular - I don't think its that difficult to learn but perhaps React is a little bit easier to learn. :)

[@criticalthinker88gis13]

Good video, I have one thing to add. I think you should be pragmatic and learn what is in most demand in your area or the area you want to work in, in general React is used more but there is a shift in the market where React is used with TS more and it is expected that devs knows TS now.

[@GavinLon]

Excellent point! Thank you :)

After years of experience, I have to say that If you need to create a mid-big app use Angular. If your app is small-very small use React.

[@GavinLon]

I know Angular definitely has advantages over React when it comes to the creation of larger apps. I think this is largely due do with how Angular facilitates a clean separation of concerns :)

[@foxdie8106]

@@GavinLon Yes, and one of the main reasons are that React needs a lot of third party libraries and you don't know if it will have support in the future. Angular has everything you need and it's maintained by one team.

[@GavinLon]

@foxdie8106 - I think those are some great points that you raise. Thank you! :)

[@eyoo369]

I never understood this argument. Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, AirBnb, Dropbox, Uber, Slack are all large platforms built with React.

[@foxdie8106]

@@eyoo369 Those companies has a lot of money, they use a customized react's version modified by themselves, so they use a small part of react. If you are a solo dev or your are part of a small team, you will spend a lot of time and resources in order to create a big app with react. If you use a framework like angular or others, you will have a lot of problems resolved.

Angular 2 ++ i think not tight to or even not MVC by default

[@GavinLon]

It might not be tied to MVC - but the MVC design pattern is commonly used. :)

[@hexantra]

@@GavinLon yep, I think the approach now tend be more entity oriented (maybe it called HMVC for MVC version)

[@GavinLon]

@@hexantra Great! Thanks so much for your feedback :)

[@TayambaMwanza]

There's a new angular logo btw

[@GavinLon]

Okay thanks! :)

[@hammeedabdo.82]

I agree with you..good comparison!

[@GavinLon]

Thank you! :)

Mircrosoft is slowly migrating to React

[@GavinLon]

I know Microsoft is using React Native a lot, to build features across a large number of applications.

[@dovh49]

I prefer `html-form` the LEAST popular JS lib. 🙂

[@GavinLon]

Cool - it doesn't matter how popular the technology is, as long as it works for you and your application :)
