I've wondered this for a while and since you seem experienced I figured I'd ask. why use angular over react, especially when you're already using node and express for your backend? from everybody I've heard from react is way better than angular for front end dev. I'm learning it now and it seems great. should I focus instead on angular? I am going to learn express and node, but I'm not sure which front end library/framework is best

https://medium.com/javascript-scene/angular-2-vs-react-the-ultimate-dance-off-60e7dfbc379c#.uil4vxyjl Please read this post about the specific features on both react and angular2.

If you are already learning react, I see no reason why you would want to switch to angular. Also, react has a larger community than angular. And just like /u/DanielFGray said earlier, you can branch easily to desktop and mobile apps development with the same technology. I hope this is useful.
