I see that "React just seemed like the better choice over Angular due to their direction" statement a lot recently.

Can you go into detail on why React is apparently a replacement of Angular?

I always had the notion that React and Angular solved two different problems. Angular is a fleshed out, full MVC framework, while React only acts primarily as the "V". Having dabbled in both, If you want React to do the same thing as Angular, there is A LOT of "puzzle-piecing" that is required. And that can seem like overkill when Angular is complete and ready to go.

They retracted the whole "React is the V in MVC" thing. It wasn't really true. It is a different paradigm to an MVC framework. When you pick React you don't need to go hunting for an "M" and a "C".

Are you confusing "React" (a view library) and "Flux" (an architectural pattern)?
