I migrated from Angular to React last year. Feels different, when everything was provided with Angular, I feel like having too much freedom with React (and too much choice in the libraries). On the other hand, the event loops seem easier to understand with React.

I am now using React+Redux+TypeScript on the projects I make. TypeScript seemed to be quite bleeding edge with React but things seems fine now though. Putting types everywhere helps me to keep control of what I am doing and avoid dumb errors.

Was that intended to be a bad thing? It sounds like you are stating a preference.

I'm more of a back-end Java developer but the problem with too much choice is having to research everything every time you want to do something to make sure it's the best. Not necessarily a bad problem but it can slow things down as opposed to there being One True Way to do something.

It seems nice, but you have to compare the libraries to find the "good" one, that eats too much time
