I have been pretty vocal about my dislike of Angular, I will not beat it to death because it has been gone over, again and again by others far more willing to argue those points. Sufficient to say, Magic comes at a price and a lot of people are now paying that price with Angular. I don't see the switch away from it as more churn but as an acknowledgment that it was a wrong direction for web front end technology.
Honestly, I hate to say it, because it is becoming the trendy framework, but my personal opinion is that React is a step back towards the write direction. Events and Web Components lead to decoupled code that can be treated as independent black boxes. Which translates to a scalable and maintainable UI codebase. We have circled around this concept with a few frameworks over the years but none of them have hit critical mass like React/Flux seems to be doing.
Anyways long story short, I know these has been a lot of churn in the front end world, but I see this one as a needed and correcting step to get UI development back on track.
