Angular for job opportunities, react for more pleasant and forward looking web development practices.

Er.. https://github.com/angular/angular-cli

1. Open terminal

> npm install -g angular-cli

> ng new app

> ng serve

4. Use the cli tool to generate components/pipes/services/etc., build, test, develop

5. Profit.

Find a more blissful and joyful experience than this in react land?

Maybe, but it will take you 3 weeks to set it up.

This:

  git clone https://github.com/Day8/re-frame-template
  lein new re-frame <project-name>
  lein figwheel

Program with a great functional language (Clojure) and watch magic happen when Figwheel dynamically reloads all of your changes in your browser...

Well, react did come up with this https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2016/07/22/create-apps... recently.

Also, one thing that is not enjoyable/straightforward with(angular-cli) is having to utilize System.js in order to include 3rd party libraries in your app.

That is about to change to webpack on next release - a big PR landed in the angular cli to switch it to webpack from broccoli.

The number of steps it takes to get it "up and running" is relevant, but hardly the most important part of what makes a language/framework a pleasant experience. Also, you seem to assume I'm in react land? But I'm an angular developer. I know first hand the big problems of angular :P
