> Angular [...] You can really focus on the application
I don't know about the newest versions but I have to disagree for Angular 1, the framework was so badly designed and overengineered that my team and I had to constantly check the doc to remember how to write x or y or what were the best practices to do z.
React does less than Angular but it's way more intuitive and straightforward. The doc is a one-time read.
> forget tooling [...] The webpack build that the Angular CLI uses internally is completely transparent [...] nothing else comes even close
React has create-react-app. Vue probably has something similar. Same for Ember. Last time I had to setup a build pipeline myself was like 3 years ago.
But if he thought angularjs was over engineered, he will definitely find angular over engineered. They improved a lot of things, but simplicity isn't one of them.
