To add to that, most new React/Redux projects are settling on the same technology decisions as the Angular team. TypeScript/Flow, RxJS for async/effect handling (or Sagas). React vs Angular is pretty negligible at this point. They are both component focused frameworks and that's the important paradigm and shared quality amongst all these frameworks. Anyone who understands the architecture of one should be able to learn the other relatively quickly. I haven't personally used Angular 2/4, but it looks like a really solid and opinionated solution. Some people don't want to spend 3 days researching thunks vs sagas vs observables, so I'm glad something like Angular exists.
