Angular uses bidirectional data binding by default. They convolute and give the unidirectional binding system. React doesn't try to hide how it works out of the gate. I've been an Angular dev for 4 years and I can promise you that the magic of Angular seems awesome to new devs but it's got bad performance repercussions and fixing it late is incredibly dramatic.

And they both have a comparable shadow DOM concept that intelligently figures out what needs to be rebound.
