This is a really long transcript but I found it very interesting. If you are just coming to the comments I encourage to read the whole thing to gain more insight as to why it's not just a great idea but also the people behind it that is necessary to make something become as popular as React.
React has made me a happier developer and affords me a lifestyle to take care of my family very well. So I'm very thankful for everything that's taken place to bring React to where it is. I got the same feeling many many years ago when I made the switch from PHP > Rails. Edit: Why is this being down voted? shrug Must be 2 sad Ember devs... Badum PSSH
The main reason I've heard for using Angular 2 at my work is that it's made by Google, but it's not like they use it themselves. I don't see how that's a good reason. On the other hand React is being used in production right now by some of the biggest companies of the world.
"I’m waiting for the day when the only way that you build UI, the only way you can build UI is with the React paradigm."
is scary.
In my day work we're using Angular 2 (Angular 4 technically), and while I prefer React it's not necessarily bad, just not as good in my opinion. That being said, backward compatibility is crazy non-existant. I had a library that required me to update to the latest version, would have been a minor bump. It wouldn't work with my current version, but then I upgraded and other libraries started breaking because they woul…
I say I used React, because it's made by Facebook.
They say they use Angular, because it's made by Google.
Others say, they use Ember or Vue, because it ISN'T made by a single big corp.
In the end these reasons are often meaningless and don't have any effect on the users in their whole lifetime.
"and that’s why you don’t get an Angular 2 scenario with React because the people paying the price are the people actually making the breaking changes" Amen
It's not just Angular, many libraries seem to be written by people without a significant investment in their own library. It might be to promote their own education material, their personal brand, or just for fun. That's fine of course, but the projects will probably not be as stable.

This is why you should eat your own dogfood, right?

Lots of large companies are using Angular in production. From my experience, lots of smaller startups and a couple big companies are using react, but lots of enterprise apps and many former anuglar 1.x apps are now Angular 2+. It's fully production battle tested, even though we don't see it as much here.
React is great but this: "I’m waiting for the day when the only way that you build UI, the only way you can build UI is with the React paradigm." is scary.
