The transition to Angular 2+ felt like a slow-motion train wreck at first.

To their credit, though, I find the Angular development experience to be quite good now. I like that there's interest in the Angular community around generating code that can be aggressively optimized by the Closure compiler.I like to ship as little code as possible to browser as possible, as lots of people are using older computers, tablets, and phones where parsing an unnecessarily large code bundle causes a noticeable delay.

Thus far, I've had a lot more success at reducing bundle size when using Angular than when using React. But I still end up using React often, because I enjoy it and I like the size of its ecosystem.
