I've been using Angular 1.x for a private project for a while and have been mostly happy (apart from the performance). It basically has everything I need.

I laughed a bit when I read this last part: "I recommend paring React with Redux, Redux-Saga and RITEway. I recommend pairing Redux with Autodux and Immer. For complex state transitions, check out Redux-DSM."

That's a whole lot of new libraries to pair and learn, too.

Redux adds a ton of mental overhead and is unnecessary on most projects. I've literally never had to use it, except to remove buggy redux code when vanilla React with props does the job better.

Angular 1 was great, and if you like that style of framework, Vue would be more your speed than React, as it's semantics were originally based on Angular 1

I've built multiple Angular apps, too. All of them imported at least a dozen other libraries as well.
