AngularJS is terrible choice for a front-end framework. It's just bizarre from top to bottom. Not everything needs two-way binding. Not all SPA's use nesting to compose their user interface! Why does ng-if create a new scope? Using attributes as control structures is plain dumb. Component re-use is difficult because of nesting as a central paradigm.

Javascript is a wonderfully expressive language. Unlike AngularJS, ReactJS let's you use this wonderful language to compose your application, not the foolishness of Angular's "modules", "factory", and "service". Even Dependency Injection is a foolish concept in a language like Javascript. Composition and wiring can be orchestrated through code, it doesn't need an intervening layer!

Javascript already has well-establish design patterns - it doesn't need AngularJS.
