Wow! such a strong opinion warrants some more justification.
Having used both Angular (since 1.0) and React (only recently), it's obvious why React is more popular. Any decent engineer can be productive in React within a day since the concepts are so intuitive and simple. With Angular, if you don't really know how things work, you are going to struggle a lot for a while.
While i can't speak for the rendering performance, the design itself is definitely elegant and not built for "code monkeys" but real engineering productivity
