Fun read, though it seems that either React is almost always the better choice over Angular 1.*, or this author just prefers React over Angular.

I'm thinking the latter is the more likely of the two, but consider my interest piqued. I am a full time Angular developer, but for some time now I have felt obligated to try out React.

Side question: does anyone have any real experience with integrating Firebase with React a la ReactFire? I am currently working on an early-stage app using AngularFire, but it's still early enough to change if given a compelling reason to do so.
