I started with Angular 1 and like it very much. Like you said, it enabled me to structure the code a certain way that made understanding it easier. I tried Aurelia since and moved on to React, and I have to say that while I still like Angular, not having to deal with state and mutability everywhere is a big boon to productivity. Whenever I code a component, I can simply think of the props (it's parameters) and the output (the HTML). That being said, Angular is still a valid option (haven't tried Angular 2, but from what I've read it's a nice upgrade over Angular 1). I'd still take React any day of the week over it, just for the simplicity it brings. Of course there are other drawbacks to using it, but nothing's perfect.

I would suggest trying ng2 before dismissing it over experiences with ng1. I was having huge issues with ng1 with updating scope and simillar things and then I tried ng2 first for a hobby project then a bigger collab one and if theres one thing I can say it's that Google did serious damage to the project by reusing the branding for two different frameworks for both searching/googling purpouses and by reusing branding from a framework which isn't similar and has been dismissed by many already. I hear too often how people say react is better than angular without trying ng2. It's like saying python is better than c# 1.0. Maybe it is but youre not making a fair comparison
