> "don't call us, we'll call you"

I don't think with React as distributed (and per tutorial) you can avoid writing that first render() call, so no, “you call us” in this case.

The existence of third-party skeletons and templates that impose some structure or another and pre-write the initial render() call isn't making React a framework.

It's a feature, of course: being mostly on the library end of the spectrum opens up innovative uses of the efficient rendering. A framework by definition is narrow about what one can achieve without fighting it, otherwise (as I have to agree with TFA) its developers would drown in features and complexity.

As to running Angular in React, I stand corrected, last time I built on Angular when it was at version 5. I stand by the rest of my argument, though.
