Hot take time: React is the most corporate framework to have ever corporated in the history of corporate, designed for one thing first and foremost: To make high turnover easier so they can fire you at any time and replace you with the next guy in line who'll already know how the entire thing works... because there is only one stupid way to do things in React. You either like it or it feels like pulling teeth.

I'm up for cheering for literally any alternative. Any.

To me Angular seems even more of a corporate (sorry "enterprise") framework, and does a better job at providing the "right way" for the entire application architecture. React (now) has a bunch of rules you have to remember, tricks to get performant code, etc., but it still leaves too much developer freedom on how to structure things. They should have gone full corporate, with rules and prescribed best practices on every aspect, so a new hire can just follow the manual. Redux was perfect in that sense, verbose and predictable, like a factory.

Of course, I would rather quit than work within such a strict framework, but React going there halfway is even worse.
