That makes a lot of sense. I have been battling with the paradox of choice. Everyday I try to start a new project but instead I just keep on googling Angular vs React, Asp.net vs Django.

I have a windows computer and visual studio seems like the best tool I can use , so simple to set up. I enjoy working with it, maybe I should take the risk and just dive into that technology.

Build a simple project with asp as the backend and react on the front end. Then swap the backend to something else you have been considering vs asp.net, like rails or Django or node.js. Then swap the front end to something else like angular2. If the project is simple, you can do each of these swaps in a few days, and then you will have a better understanding of each, instead of just wondering.
