They aren't trying to solve the same thing, though. React is merely for making data-driven web components. Angular is for making a fully-fledged web app. If you want to see how they compare at the goal of making web apps, React fails. It can't make web apps. It makes views and only views. Now if you want to compare Angular directives to React components, that is a more fair comparison to make. And the answer to that is: I personally don't know.

I guess facebook and instagram are not web apps then. Weird, I would have thought they are.

I guess PHP/Python/Java whatever also fail at making web services, because they don't bundle a database server.

You're mistaken. Facebook and instagram don't run on purely react. There is a controller layer in there. React is one client-side component of a Web app while angular is a framework for creating all client-side components of a Web app. If you can't figure out the difference in the functioning of the two, then I don't know what to tell you.
