I had worked quite a bit with Angular 1 (first "real" front-end framework I learned), and some jQuery before that. I found the React/Redux/JSX stack to be really quick and easy to pick up. The simple component API and minimal use of magic helped avoid many of the headaches and quirks Angular 1 was riddled with. React/Redux is the most painless front-end stack I've ever used, makes writing web clients much faster. My only real complaint against the modern React/Redux stack, is the crazy amount of boilerplate involved, even with a "minimal" project.
