Choosing a Javascript Framework for my Django project is driving me crazy. I need faster page loading, easy code, easy to learn, and it should work fluently with Django's templating engine.
You can use Angular 1 and Django pretty easily with Django REST Framework. Tutorial is here! github.com/connor11528/angular-drf-todolist
Angular and React work really well with Django! You can also take a look at EmberJS.loo
You can look up for some Boilerplate code on github and start from there, My personal choice would be ReactJS.

You can look at ReactJS, it satisfies your requirements of being easy to code, easy to learn; and not sure what you mean by integration with Django's template engine (which one?)
Since ReactJS already is a huge proponent of pushing thoughts in the direction of "components", I think you would hardly need any "templates" per se.
Combined with Django on the backend, and ReactJS library (yes React is not a framework) in the front end, you should get a sweet setup.
To give you a quick start, here is a good seed project: github.com/Seedstars/django-react-redux-base
