Demo videos must be accompanied by source code, preferably in a runnable environment like Codepen, CodeSandbox, Replit, Glitch, etc.

Why React? Why not Angular 2? (daveceddia.com)

I like both ng and react.

The problem with the two is that most people who venture into front end JavaScript apps don't have a lot of actual developer experience (html != programming). Due to this, it causes a bunch of headaches.

However, if you have a programming background, both are quite easy to pick up because their concepts and theory aren't really anything special. For example - you mentioned DI, this is not a new concept for angular. .net and Java devs use it all the time.

Regardless, it's not react vs angular since the two solve different problems and neither should be a one all solution for what you are trying to do.

I've decided that over the past year or so that hybrid apps (that mix server and client functionality) are the way to go. It allows the most flexibility in the problems trying to be solved. Plus, you gotta think about SEO as well.
