Leaving actual reasoning of which is better aside, how do i convince my manager and management to use Angular?

The 2 best arguments to use are financial and speed to market. If the team is already familiar with Angular than you have both arguments you can make. If the team is already using React you have an uphill battle that honestly may be the wrong choice.

There are technical and financial reasons for most frameworks. Frankly, I am not a fan of either framework you are choosing between and if I was choosing something new now I would probably heavily investigate Vue versus either of those.

I am also not a fan of SPA's or heavy client side rendering either. Personally, I prefer to see more server side rendering with additive client side functionality. There are exceptions of course.

No matter what, I'd still be weighing all the options based on the team makeup and product requirements, as picking any framework(s) or design before you know the requirements is usually not a good idea.

Why do you prefer Angular?

Here are some of the reasons I would give:

.) More choice for mobile development: Ionic & Nativescript. .) Easier to integrate new developers, all Angular projects look the same. .) Project backed by Google. .) Components closer to WebComponents framework, meaning designers can work on them concurrently vis-a-vis ugly JSX locked in your JS. .) No commercial risk from libraries such as MobX and other router libraries dependent on a single amateur developer.

If you have to ask, you’re probably not qualified to convince them...

How does the rest of the team feel about either of them?
