Part of the success of React is they didn't dictate how anything should be done. They made a few recommendations, like FLUX and instead the people chose Redux.

This flexibility, while being chaotic, allowed a survival-of-the-fittest design to grow naturally.

This is also the reason I abandoned Angular 1 for React.

Hahaha it's not just me then!!
That said I'm always curious to see how Angular is progressed since I used Angular 1. But when I look, I get distracted by Vue's similar yet simpler API.
