This. Vue feels a lot like Angular 1, but gets more stuff right. Angular 2 feels like an over engineered React clone using more complex tech to solve the same problems. I also really dislike JSX so I am biased.
I am in the same boat as you. I was in love with Angular 1 and when Angular 2 was announced I was very much disappointed. There was not one redeeming things about A2 IMO, just a huge clusterfuck which is still growing with every version.
Also never liked React. The whole JSX and everything is just isn't for my taste. I'm speaking as a solopreneur who likes launching a new site every month. Anyway, so a friend suggested Vue and this framework brought me actual joy. It is everything I was hoping to see in Angular 2 and better.
Seriously, if you like A1 but not a fan of A2 or React then Vue is definitely up your alley.
