My experience of working with Angular (admittedly several years ago when Angular versions 2-4 were current) was that it was pretty close to the React model (which was a huge improvement over the old angular.js), but also slightly worse than it in pretty much every area.

Most of the problems were the framework being too opinionated and not getting out of your way, whereas it is generally easy to "break out" of the abstraction when needed with React.
