As someone who has never used Angular but is interested in Angular 2, can you give some examples of the framework-y things it provides that React doesn't? Redux is really the only thing I find necessary for what I've developed so far, and I'm sure Angular has it's equivalent, but what else does it have?
It gives the ability to do validation with form components, using a nice XHR abstraction, and a router - all optional. It also provides a robust DI framework and set of testing tools.
