First, there is no right and wrong answer here, both are good. It depends on what you personally prefer. That said, I did exactly the same thing and moved to React. My reason was typescript. I wanted to learn basic Javascript well (and es6 was big step ahead) and not some abstraction of it, so Angular was out. In general, when I talk to some C# or Java developers, they prefer typescript (thus also Angular) mostly because of types. So, I dont see anything wrong with either choice, it depends on your preferences.
