I have been using Angular for about 2 years. And just started to have a look at other frameworks yesterday and deciding between going for Angular 2 or something else.

I found Aurelia and I think it's the next one I'll learn and use in my projects: http://aurelia.io/

1. You can do the tutorial in an hour or so, and get the general idea in I'd say about 4 hours.

2. From what I've seen it'd be a 3.

3. Looks like a 3 too!

4. I've watched a couple of videos from his creator Rob Eisenberg, and the guys knows what he is talking about ;) Plus, it support the Flux architecture with a plug-in:

Also there's been some discussions comparing Aurelia to Angular2 and well, seems like Aurelia has the best architectural decissions in, for example:

A very important thing for me is that it sports a set of tools for quickly setting up a development environment (yeoman generator, jspm, gulp, browsersync).

It also supports modern Javascript (ES2015/ES2016) from the start (with Babel).
