Angular is huge bloat. Unfortunately Google's name is behind that mess so it will live for little bit longer before getting forgotten. I myself prefer frameworks that are minimal, least invasive and plays nicely with pure JS/HTML instead of treating them as bug. So anything that requires me to call .createClass to create an instance is out. Personally I've used Knockout.js pretty successfully. I think any average js dev can understand that framework in 15 minute and be productive. Although it's not perfect if you you are looking for idealistic MVC implementation.
