Redux is a nearly-ubiquitous complement to React, not an alternative. Redux handles the data, React handles the interface.
Vue got a lot of attention on Hacker News because it was new, but it has plateaued with at most 1/8th of React's market share. It is not going to be replacing it. React is more dominant than any JavaScript technology has ever been except maybe jQuery (whose responsibility was a lot narrower). It's not my personal favourite, but I appreciate having a de-facto standard across almost everything I have to work on.
Google is mostly irrelevant to this discussion: they have extreme Not Invented Here syndrome and cling to terrible in-house technologies for front-end development. (They have been gradually increasing their React adoption over the last few years, but it will probably remain small.) They were once the world leader in JavaScript development, but they haven't treated it seriously and are now significantly worse than all of their competitors. If you go to Google, you're committing to learning a lot of non-transferable knowledge (in addition to a lot of valuable practices).
