This is a bit tricky, React is not a framework, its a library which means you will need work with other libraries, tools and configuration to be ready to start.

On the other hand, Angular is a framework so you have pretty much all you need to start a project out of the box.

Both can get the job done. One is not better than the other because they are different. You should pick what ever is more familiar to you or what you are interested in if your goal is to learn.

Like Gary said, react is not a framework, it is just a view library. But I have said this before and will still say it again - use whatever floats your boat. If you know Angular, use Angular. If you are an ember master, go with ember. Don't let people choose what you are not satisfied with.

Since you are new to development, try out multiple frameworks and find the one that suits you best.
