Today I am gonna start writing code in react to replace/improve an old silverlight project.
I need to show react is faster, easier and more efficient than angular.

Thumbs up if you like react and comment if you think I'm wrong 🙂

Last semester I had Internet Engineering classes, where we were supposed to build backend in Symfony and two versions of frontend. one in Angular, one in React.
Now I'm more than sure that I don't wanna do frontend ever again, but if I had to I'd choose React. It was so neat to code. :3

My 2 cents: I sincerely hope you are not new to development. React is great, and you get plenty of libs and tools and everything you wish for.

But setting this up? It's a nightmare. I don't get how beginners manage to setup a full toolchain. It took me a few hours of reading docs and outdated tutorials to have all this setup (although I do have 3 different environments: local, dev, prod, each with a separate configuration), I can't fathom how beginners can have something running other than a fluke or really empty project.

The tool chain setup does always seem to be the hardest - because there’s so much misinformation kicking around. Outdated blog posts and stuff seems to be all you can ever find.

Excuse me gentleman, can you spare a moment to talk about VueJS?

VueJS > React > Angular

@DanijelH Never used react but for what i've heard of, installing it is a pain in the ass, besides, the learning curve is so much smoother in vue and does many more powerful things (with the components), I love vue <3

@bennythecat96 same here, we were recently in a position of choosing front end framework. Between the three, we went for Vue + Typescript. I must say I never thought I would be able to say I actually love coding front end. It's a breeze with Vue :)

Unfortunately kendo UI doesn't work properly in Vju.js
I've read good articles about it though

It is faster than Angular, that is true. You also get the added benefit of being able to use it for React Native if you need to create a mobile app for the 2 major platforms. It feels easier than Angular at the beginning, until you get to Redux and you start learning that as well. Redux is great tho. But I can not say that it is extensively better than Angular 5 which has major improvements and a more consistent feel to how you do things. It brings about many important topics such as separation of concerns (view not interwined with logic which as far as I know is one of the main reason why a lot of people whine about PHP....but fuck it React is shiny) as well as Dependency injection which is a major selling point for me. I really enjoy Angular 5 because it forces people to code a certain way, in React people can pretty much do whatever they want most of the time. So better is highly debatable.
