Is the comparison fair? I haven't tried Angular 2, but it seems much more full-featured than React. For example, I guess that Angular 2 includes a router, while React doesn't, and just a few days ago there was a vitriolic thread just here on HN about the state of react-router.

If you look at react-redux-starter-kit [1], I would absolutely not say that it's simple. This file [2] is only 12 lines of code but can you call it simple? I don't think so.
