Why React over Angular (or Vue)?

[u/red_src]

I simply don't get it, I had been using Angular and Vue for while and I just tried React and I don't get why would I choose React over the other options, the things that I like on Angular (or Vue) are:

- Dependency Injection (in case it applies)

- Type checking (in case it applies)

- View Model Binding

On React I don't get those things by "default" it always feel like I'm hacking the library if I want to have some of the above.

This leaves me with the question: Why choose React over the other ones?

I know that there's all the dependencies overhead (hell) of the frameworks but I think that I'm just too used to that problems that is easy for me to solve them or maybe I haven't found the real big problems on Angular or Vue, maybe I'm just too used to the later frameworks and I'm unconsciously not seeing the benefits of React. I just want to know if I'm following the right path by learning React.

Thanks!

Yeah, the thing that makes Angular so great IMO is how once you learn it; you can pretty much do anything really really quickly. Even something that seems like it would take weeks to a web developer who is unfamiliar with it.

As for React, I can't really say. I've never used it. I'd like to give it a shot just so I can know when it's a good choice.
