I'm really hoping that Aurelia starts getting more attention, and becomes an accepted next move from Angular.js 1.

People have already mentioned some of the practical problems with Angular 2. OOP vs. functional styles is an interesting debate, but Angular 2, React and Ember each have more basic issues than that, around things like onboarding new developers, project setup, usability, and support. All three have different, but big, deal-breakers for me.

OOP and FP are not mutually exclusive.

Inheritance over composition, Internal class state, Imperative state mutations

Only the last one is important. Internal state can exist in FP its just either immutable or private. I think even hardcore OOP people encourage composition over inheritance as much as possible and class based inheritance is not anti-thetical to FP (see scala)
