The main problem with AngularJS is its module system and forced DI. And that can least theoretically be fixed.

If DOM performance is a concern, there would be nothing stopping AngularJS from e.g. using HTML templates to generate a VirtualDOM just like React.

Agreed. Anyone who uses CommonJS or RequireJS has to deal with a dual-DI system with Angular requiring the programmer maintaining an array of strings.
