I mean to ask is, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using ASP.net MVC as compared to Angular or React js with REST?

You will find this question asked a million times but I want to give my contribute.

I recently choosed to use both approaches for a project. I am using ASP.NET MVC for backoffice (admin stuff) and Angular for the frontoffice with an ASP.NET REST API.

Why?

  • For the backoffice I mostly need CRUD operations, I am not too concerned about having an awesome UI and I need it ready ASAP.
  • For the frontoffice I am a lot more concerned about UI/UX. It is important that customers have the best experience possible, so I want to invest more time there.

Also, having a separate project for the frontend and a REST API for the backend will make development a lot easier, especially if you have a team.

Conclusion

If I need something fast, like a prototype, I may choose ASP.NET MVC. In all other cases I always prefer using Angular + REST API.
