If you must compare Angular with React, then at least compare it to ReactJs+Flux+more or Angular-Templates with React-Templates.

React is more like the view-lib of a framework. I like them both (also ember, knockout, backbone) and unfortunately think the battle isn't decided yet. Will take some time if ever...

Complain to Steve Jobs(1), for killing Flash/Flex, as you could to client-side apps with desktop performance, without the hassle of Cross-Browser testing and so on... In my opinion the concepts of Angular and React+Flux are heavily based on the features this platform provided.

(1) IMHO the Only good thing he ever did (for the web), as it forced the proprietary software out... but led to the great Framework-War :)

P.S.: Also Actionscript 3 was ECMAScript(Javascript) plus Classes, Types and more... ( I wondered about which Version that was latly and found out they implemented ECMAScript and extended it with features requested by users.)




BTW, if you use Backbone you can simply use React as a View.
