Wow, there is a light of hope that Angular will eventually become a human-friendly framework! (Just joking, don't mind). I've been working with Angular since version 1.2 and hopefully over time the data/control flow will become something like MobX + asynchronous hooks in React... in my opinion it's much clearer and more manageable than RxJS. Just for my taste, don't start arguing - I'm not saying that you can't do things with RxJS that you can with hooks, but I prefer simplicity: it wins on long run.
