No. I'm sorry, I'm sure that you think Angular 2 is great. It might even be faster than React. But I'm not falling for it this time. Never again.

Fool me once, Angular team...

Source on that speed claim, please.

I can't find the benchmarks that I'd based my comments on to be honest, and I have to get back to work. :|

From what I remember, the final version of Angular 2 added a lot of performance, which pushed it ahead of the latest React in performance.

I did find this:

But the Auth0 benchmarks disagree and show React is faster:

Angular 1 is terrible performance-wise; that much is certain.
