but then you have to use Angular. You pay performance penalties and as someone who learnt React before Angular, two way data binding doesn't make that much sense. ( i know angular 4 uses state based model, but then might as well use react at that point.)

I assume tashoecraft was referring to the latest version of Angular - which I believe is 5. And 6 is right around the corner. I would make an educated guess that the most recent Angular is not user perceptibly slower than React for most applications.

Everything is a trade off, so if you value structure and convention over raw speed then Angular would make sense over React. Also, I imagine the latest versions of angular are faster than Ember (but I don't actually know).

Hmm, tbh i haven't kept up with Angular so i wouldn't know for sure.

There was Addy Osmani's talk on performances of different JS frameworks and Angular was the slowest. Slower than what chrome team recommends :)

I don’t believe Angular is any bit slower then react currently. Any comparisions I’ve seen usually have some level of bias where the author either chose not to use some feature that would change the comparision to be more equal.

I’ll say that Angular recieved alot of flack over the 1-2 change ( alot rightly so ) but it’s really solid now and marching at a steady pace of improvments. I’ve looked over react and vue.js projects recently and they are all basically the same thing with slighy differences.
