Yes, obviously. My company uses it for this. Personally, I don't know if AngularJS is a better alternative moving forward because it has a bigger community and companies such as Microsoft are integrating it on Visual Studio.
(Sadly being downvoted for saying this)
React will keep getting bigger, and AngularJS has no answer to React Native which I find pretty revolutionary.
I said React Native is revolutionary. It's the first JS framework that lets you build native iOS and Android apps. Key word here being "native".
React itself was designed as a UI library, purely to be used as the "V" in an MVC app. It's like expecting D3.js to do your AJAX calls. Unless it's a full front-end framework, there's no point trying to do everything.
It basically just gives you a view engine and then you have the flexibility to select what other libraries you want to supplement the rest of the app components.
This differs from other frameworks like Angular where you have to "go all in" and don't have the flexibility so that if something major changes (like when the Angular team announced HUGE changes coming in 2.0) you might get stuck with something you don't like. In this way, it's easier to switch out a part of your app as opposed to having to completely rewrite something if you use a full framework like AngularJS.
The folks working on Angular 2 are looking at interop with React Native's native shell so that you can write native apps in Angular (2) as well.
Yes.
