Alright I’m just going to say it and you guys on some deep level are going to admit it.

The only reason you prefer react over angular is because when you walked into web development as a new developer you did some angular tutorials and the dependency injection and 'complexity' scared the shit out of you.

Whereas react was little more than a JavaScript function that had:

Return “<div> yay </div>”

And to you that made a lot more sense then angular importing templates and injecting services and router modules.

And so you concluded angular must be shit I will go on returning html strings from functions and calling them components for the rest of my life.
