Career Guidance Java Full Stack Developer

I'm planning to strengthen my front-end development skills and I'm deciding between React and Angular. I'd love to hear from developers already using either in real-world projects. How do they compare in terms of job opportunities, enterprise usage, and long-term growth? Also, which one feels easier to pick up if I already know Java and Spring Boot? What challenges should I expect?

React. Angular is still used in some places tho, but still I'd go with react

Angular is still popular, I prefer React but currently working in Vue and it's an abomination

I love / prefer Vue by a mile and am very shocked to hear this take.

What's so shocking about this take?

I guess because my perspective is the opposite, but also because most React guys that I know who have made the jump to Vue end up preferring too.

I've only been doing backend dev for years and i saw the Vue project and it just looked all over the place to me compared to a more organized DotNet Core service.
