I guess this is part of the whole divergence of the JS community. This is one of the questions I ask at every interview I do now when looking for a new gig: "Do you prefer one JS framework does it all like AngularJS, or do you like to mix and match your JS libraries like taking ReactJS and combining it with say AmpersandJS, BackboneJS, etc?" This is where we are. One group wants to use ReactJS and add complexity as they need it. Others just want a complete framework (however complex, and let's be honest, Angular is pretty complex!) out of the box. I've always been happy with full stack frameworks out of the box for several reasons, but it's what I prefer. I'd be interested to know where all of this ends up in the next 18 months though.
