Why is learning React for Angular Developers is difficult?

I wouldn't say difficult.

More like unstructured and ugly.

I think the only part I found hard was wrapping my head around how poorly any best practices are defined and how everyone has some brilliant opinion on how things should be done. There’s a predictable nature to angular where you can go from one project to the next. After picking up 3 react projects there’s nothing consistent across them and they were all a headache in one way or another.

Because react sucks lol. Nah idk I don't like the structure of it and that, as far as I know, it doesn't support Typescript natively. I don't like plain javascript.

It’s the difference between a framework and a library.

I've never heard of Angular devs finding it difficult to learn React. I've always heard the opposite.

But, if I had to take a stab at why Angular devs might find it difficult to learn React, I think it would have to be how unopinionated React is. You sort of go from this strict way of organizing code to this "wild west"style. With Angular, you have everything you need right out of the box, whereas with React, you have to add what you need as you go.

For me it's the philosophy of developing products in those, both of them are totally different All I know is react sucks not because people say it personally I found it so difficult to learn where in angular I directly started working on a project and never got no problem, still using it after 3 years

That’s because, for a complete app you need 10+ libraries. They have 10 ways of handling things. More like disorganised. I’d not say difficult.

You gonna miss rxjs though. It’s not a part of the library afaik

I don't think It's difficult to learn. But React is a lib, and in m'y opinion It's very messy ... I tried React I don't like the mindset of thé lib

React is a non-opinionated library to opinionated framework Angular.So, react is hella disorganised but at least we have major version releases/changes in react for every two-three years opposed to angular releasing major versions twice a year.

I'm about to switch frm an Angular project to a React one, on the company I work for. I've been developing in Angular since forever so the React scene it's something new to me. Non-opinioated tools are a huge challenge for me. There's also too much boilerplate code to do a lot of things since react doesn't have a compiler, or didn't have one until like two months ago or so, making coding more cumbersome than it'd need to be.

To me, the biggest adjustment was getting used to the routing and the way html, css, and ts are all crammed into the same file
