I really don't see the comparison with Angular other than the use of templates. Can you elaborate?

Also, what "rails" does React provide?

I haven't used Svelte so take my comparison surface level. templates, directives and the prop names all remind me of Angular.

The "rails" that react provided that I found useful where more around opinionated data flow with props (especially with Flux).

Yes, but those are commonplace in any library/framework that uses templates. Like you said, this is just a very superficial comparison. Angular is framework that comes with lots of abstractions, modules, dependency injection, etc. It's a very different beast than Svelte.

Right, but React is only the rendering part. You are probably refering to Redux.
