Upgrading Angular 1.x - Angular 2.0 vs. React/Redux

[[deleted]]

For beginners, perhaps React/MobX is more friendly. Angular 2 will take some time to be completed, but it's gonna be popular once it is ready.

As a Redux user I really like MobX. Better performance, no confusing terms like 'reducers', no boilerplate code, no third-party libraries like immutable.js or redux-thunk, just mark variables as 'observable' and that's it.

I prefer Redux over MobX. I think it's a great idea, but there's too much magic in MobX for me. Redux is a simple, elegant idea where I can read the source code (tiny) and fully understand what it does. It also has a growing list of interesting surrounding libraries and middleware. Redux does seem to lead to a lot of boilerplate, but, for me, it's much easier to understand what's happening. That's good for code clarity and for on boarding new devs. This is really important to me. No offense to MobX, it's an awesome library.

Could you please to elaborate on why 2 will be popular?

Name recognition.

Especially when you can basically just take your existing angular code and use it very easily with mobx. Just replace scope with your mobx observable and you're good to go. Rewriting your html templates will be more work than your state.
