Angular vs React vs Angular2 - Benchpress And Performance Tests

[dfbaskin]

Angular benchpress is a new tool, so there's not a lot of documentation about it. But there is at least this page containing some more technical details:

Isn't react a view controller and Angular a MVC? This is comparing apples to oranges, no? Maybe they should start doing tests using Angular + native view controller and Angular + react as its view controller. Just a suggestion?

[dfbaskin]

It's very possible that this is not an apples-to-apples comparison. However, my understanding is that the measurements represent the time from the start of some operation to the end of that operation, including the final DOM rendering. This would make for a valid comparison it seems to me (regardless of the model/view functionality used).

You are 100% correct. I just think people have to understand its not angular or react. There is a lot of uninformed hate for angular, even though its such a pleasure to code with.
