Having used Vue for a month or so and Angular now for only a short period, I can easily say Vue is easier to learn for two reasons (neither of them being magic):
1. The documentation is excellent. It's short enough to read in one sitting and comprehensive in that every option is documented without needing to resort to third party websites. When a new feature is added even in a minor version upgrade, that new feature is in the documentation (and marked as NEW). The search is also great and separates results into "Guide" and "API" categories.
2. Vue itself is extremely cohesive and user friendly. User friendly can mean many things. One of those is simply terminology. For example, in both Angular and Vue, templates can have child content. AngularJS and Angular use the terms Transclusion and Content Projection while Vue templates can have "sl

ots": a term which doesn't require a CS degree to understand the intent.
The Angular documentation is simply not good: the organization, navigation, search, and writing style are vastly inferior to Vue's docs. Many sections are written in tutorial form repeating the same information (or mentioning important information in an unrelated section). It's hard to find what you're looking for and in many cases things simply aren't documented. For instance, speaking of Content Projection, it's a major feature and it's nearly impossible to find in the docs unless you already know ahead of time that it's called "Content Projection". I had to learn about it from a third party blog which made me question if it was even safe to use. There's even an open JIRA item noting this:
https://github.com/angular/angular.io/issues/3099
Other things that bit me recently were key modifiers in which the possible options are only mentioned on the github issue page (not in the docs).
