I've been using Angular 1.x for a year in various projects. After that I came to conclusion that for my side project I will use React. Main reason is React is better than Angular 1.x and Angular 2.0 is not ready. Cons: - I can chuck away my angular 1.x knowledge, since Angular 2.0 is going to be completely different than 1.x (like Django and Node) - Directives are such a pain to write, test, maintain, compose and reuse - Doesn't scale (writing and debugging very complex app) and also - I had to dig deep down into internals to get how something works - Angular has very step learning curve - Harder to write isomorphic app Having said that, Angular is an enormous improvement comparing to jQuery. If you start a new project, evaluate all options and pick what works best for you.
