Angular vs React Smackdown
summary
Comparison shows concrete tradeoffs: two apps are generated with angular-cli and create-react-app via JHipster, deployed to Heroku and measured with Lighthouse and webpack. React build ends up about 3,000 fewer lines of code and often starts faster; Angular produces more files and more boilerplate but gives a full framework (DI, generators). Both reach PWA score 91 locally; performance varies widely by network and build settings, so pick React for compact UIs and Angular for an all-in-one structure.
