I have done some small personal projects with React, Angular 1 and 2 just for learning, and I agree with your assessment. If I were building a production system with a small team of intermediate non-specialists, I would use Angular every time. For a front end dev, it's like comparing SASS (React) to Bootstrap (Angular). They're both good at what they do, but they have different sweetspots in terms of the problems they're good at solving.
