If you're going to switch JS frameworks every time some hipster on HN tells you to, you're never going to get anything done. Use Angular/TS if you like it.

Oh no, I am a desktop and mobile developer, but a recent article on HN made me decide I should dip my toe in web dev just to get a better understanding, so I hit up Pluralsight and was recommended Angular and Typescript.

Then 3 minutes into a Angular 2/Typescript lesson I read that. But point taken.

I think I will stick with Angular and Typescript purely on the basis that it seems to have better integration with .Net core etc. I say all of this from a huge point of ignorance and just what I could gather from an hour or so of research online.

Edit: Changed to single toe.

Typescript works quite well with React, redux etc.

Go with what you like. Take a look at Polymer documentation - it is very easy to pick up and works like a charm. I prefer it to react and angular nowdays.

You will still be able to use redux/whatever with it.
