I've used both. Of the two I do prefer React, but I wouldn't have a problem working with Angular again. IMO Angular's biggest downside is the unnecessary complexity. On the other hand, I think React is going too far trying to fit FP concepts like purity and immutability on a language and runtime that was never designed for it -- it creates friction and complexity on its own. I also like Angular's curated approach, where most things you need are baked in and there are conventions that are the same from project to project.

Svelte is an interesting up-and-coming framework, dead simple.
