The takeaway of course is that most of those probably want to pick up Angular 2 because they used Angular.

I made a conscious switch from Angular to React because React (and the flux pattern) really did reinvent how web components are built and it's incredibly intuitive. I simply don't see the same innovation in Angular 2 apart from 'we made Angular more modern'

I'm learning front end dev for the first time, and I chose React - it didn't make sense to learn angular when react borrows so much from html that I can apply some concepts more directly.
