I've mainly worked with React throughout my development career and haven't faced any issues. Clients usually prefer or don't mind React. Now, I'm starting a side project with someone experienced in Angular, who insists on using it. I get that Angular is often better for larger, more structured projects, but our app is still small. What do you think? Should we stick with Angular, or is there a better option?

Angular is my top choice for any enterprise application given its structured nature, but for a side project, you might find it overkill. Just make sure your partner can justify why Angular is the right fit for this specific project instead of going with personal preference. If not, it might be worth discussing other options.
Angular is huge in enterprise settings like banks and government projects. It's definitely still relevant, especially for internal tools. For your small side project, it might be fine to let your partner set up the initial structure while you work on a feature. You'll learn faster that way!
Thanks. Sounds like a plan!
Any framework works for any project, but Angular might be too structured for just two people. You might want to check out Vue; it combines good aspects of both React and Angular without the overhead.
Thanks, but Vue will be new for both of us.

Hey thanks. Think I just needed to hear something like that.
