you will want to research and form your own opinion as there are very subtle nuances that have enormous consequences in maintaining large codebases, but here's a starting point: http://www.quora.com/Pete-Hunt/Posts/Facebooks-React-vs-Angu...

The main issue is that to do anything complicated in angular you need to start writing tricky[1] "link" functions; the React approach completely sidesteps this complexity. There are some tradeoffs you have to accept, like JSX, but they are easily worth it.
