At my workplace, I'm using Angular for the frontend part, and I consider it a solid choice for us, since we still most of my coworkers have an extensive Java background and the larger part of our system is still not a web application; the tooling support is very good, the community is large and the framework has matured a lot in 2017 (2016 was a wild ride though...).

But since the component orientation is the core idea of Angular, Vue and React, I think switching framework conceptually should not be that hard. I consider it more a matter of taste (although for some people it rather seems to be a matter of religion ;) )

I also like StencilJS a lot, although it is not a framework, but a compiler for standard-compliant, reusable WebComponents, which play along very nicely with most modern frameworks.

And there are interesting compile-to-JS languages worth checking out: Elm is in my opinion a terrific language for certain use cases and with ReasonML facebook is also doing some interesting work to bring another functional programming language (OCaml) to the browser.
