Interesting take... I spent a good deal of time integrating the redux library into an angular2 application, and it was "interesting" doing so, to say the least. Although I don't like this pattern quite as much, it is a much better fit with Angular2.
I have to admit, I'm really biased in favor of React + Redux, but seeing Angular 2 in this article makes it feel much more tolerable. There are quite a few bits of ng2 that I disagree with, and I just don't care for the template engine. The syntax is leaps and bounds better than ng1, that said, I still prefer React+Redux ... going a step farther, I'm playing with preact+redux currently, and getting a working starter app in under 20K payload (min+gzip) is pretty sweet, compared to over 10x that for ng2.
