Angular 2+ user here: - Components have nice API and are pleasant to use - Dependency injection containers out of the box are good for those who value inversion of control in their codebases - Change detection is good and fast. Gone are the times of leaky abstraction of the digest loop - Tooling has caught up: Angular CLI for rapid start, server-side rendering works just fine. You are using npm, webpack, typescript (brings es2016 features to you), modern testing frameworks and what not - Redux works nicely with Angular2+ as well, it's not exclusive to React - You can wrap pretty much any 3rd party browser widget into Angular component within maybe one hour of work

I guess when your open source library passes a million downloads per month, you are not worrying too much about marketing anymore. So i'm not quite sure why it's so important for the author to declare one and only one winner in the race. Both React and Angular users are benefiting from the competition

But now you have zone and it's leaky. See this stackoverflow question for example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43097291/firebase-datasn...

Edit: wrong link

You about summed up my experience too.

Attention seeking I guess
