Okay I go ahead and say it: I still like Angular 1.x

I feel like there's a lot of hate towards Angular and much praise for React. Personally I don't get along with the syntax and just the readability of React code or rather the structure. But that may just be my lack of experience with it.

I understand that the DOM diffing in React is superior but.. is it really that important? For me the two-way data binding of Angular takes away the headaches of doing updates with jQuery. Sure, I get that having to follow the "Angular" way and wrapping foreign libraries is overhead. But it still feels adequately simple to write applications with it.
