I'm not an expert ... I dabbled a bit in Angular and found it really confusing and hard to debug. React worked mostly as expected. There were some gotchas but I managed to get through them in a few days.

I just wish we had a non-proliferation treaty on Flux frameworks.

Flux is an idea, there's multiple implementations because they optimize for different concerns.

For example, I like Fluxible because it lets you do server side rendering, and it avoids singletons, so it's exceptionally easy to test.

However, if I'm working on an app that doesn't have any public facing components, I'd probably consider a different implementation that is less verbose.

The proliferation of Flux frameworks will probably continue for a while. Then, hopefully, things will settle down and we will only have a few frameworks left that have clear differences which makes it easy to choose between them. I currently like Reflux and would choose that as a start if I created a new project.
