When Angular 2 was first announced, I actually thought - wow, this looks a lot more like Vue than Angular 1!
I think Angular 2 has improved a lot in terms of usability, but obviously still not as simple as Vue ;) In particular, you'd have to use TypeScript to get the best possible dev experience, it's great for people who like TypeScript but may not be that approachable for others.
Perf wise Angular 2 is very impressive - but in my opinion not significant enough to make it a decisive factor when choosing between frameworks.
