There are some good articles on Angular and ShadowDOM, as well as Incremental DOM. Angular (2+) has been using ShadowDOM before it was made a standard (that is now supported by all modern browsers, without a polyfill), which benefits performance in relation to both change detection and rendering. It's still different than VirtualDOM and there are trade-offs, but you also get some added benefits like encapsulation of your components, so you can easily apply CSS to your components without worrying about styles bleeding outside of the component.
