I'm a C# developer. I have been patiently waiting for angular 2.0 with the hopes of switching my stack to TS.Node + Angular and I'm really excited about trying this!
I'm very impressed with the power Visual Studio Code offers for developing JS/TS projects. Do you do all of your development in the .NET flavour of Visual Studio?

I usually evaluate frameworks based on the job market. In the UK there are currently 298 jobs for Angular and 109 for React (www.cwjobs.co.uk). React is up on around 40 jobs at the beginning of the year. The reality is that you should know Angular AND you should know React. These are not mutually exclusive.
Yes, but whey you get to influence what to use you should know what you want and why. For the time being I don't recommend starting with angular unless you already know angular 1 or know that your first release won't be until the fall 2016.

which is actually my point - running it this way helps us do a lot of beta testing internally,etc. Obviously this is not a production strategy, but the way we have written code (with requirejs) is that we can switch between them. I really hope that React makes this more public - it makes it for quick and dirty prototyping. P.S. love ES6. Performance be damned!!
Care to share your setup? I.e. minimal todo-like application with both direct development and with compilation for production site.

Yeah, you're right not to trust statements about projects "capturing mind share" and what is "really hot right now" (not intending to quote OP). People get into their little communities and don't realize that they are not at all representative of the larger world. To make something up, I can totally believe that React is really popular in the San Diego startup scene, but it's a mistake to extrapolate that too far in…
As a counterpoint, there are a decent number of people learning it around where I am in southeast Michigan. There was a conference in Detroit, they said that they got a ton of React talk submissions. I used it at a small business print shop, admittedly they just let IT do their own thing. I think there are probably still more Angular devs, but I'll be interested to see how it evolves in the next few years.
And I'm sure you did fine work, but small business print shops are not exactly industry trend setters. What difference would it make in the bigger picture if you had chosen Handlebar for that project?

I disagree. The distinction is worth pointing out, and he's right. Angular is more than just the view layer (directives). It provides the structure for the rest of your app. Other tech like Knockout.js is more comparable to React, as it's only solving the view layer problem.
If you're in New York, and you want to travel to London, you can either fly on a plane, or take a boat ride. If I am trying to compare the pros and cons of flying vs sea travel, a distinction between the fact that a ship is not an airplane isn't really important. Two vastly different approaches can attempt to solve the same problem, and they're worth considering on equal ground. On a side note, when people mention wo…
Angular is the airline flight(s), React is the boat. It won't get you all the way there on its own.

We're playing with all manner of tooling here. Our CLI (broccoli based), Webpack, SystemJS / JSPM, Rollup, etc - we'll also be focusing on HTTP/2 as we move forward.
HTTP/2 in what sense?

By level of investment, both me and the OP meant in terms of products that are key to the company's operations, and need to be continuously supported and improved . Facebook is one such app for Facebook that uses React. Instagram is one such app for Facebook that also uses React. I honestly don't know any such app for Google that uses Angular. Until that changes, there is very little incentive for the Angular team to…
Angular 2 is the framework for Google's AdWords products. So it's core to how Google makes its money.

I really wanted to start using ts in my next React app but did not find any good resources and couldn't get it off the floor. Happen to have any insight on that?
I've been working on a TS/React/Redux app for the last couple of months, trying to make use of the "latest and greatest" tools and best practices, and hope to write up a blog post over Christmas describing my experience (overall very positive) and how to set it all up, so I will be sure to post it to HN when it is done.

I just checked Datanyze which crawls the Alexa 1m and more to see which services & libraries websites are using. They've detected 234,003 sites using Angular and 2,069 using React.
I'd love to see those numbers for Ember, Polymer, Backbone and Aurelia.

This would be amazing, I hope I catch it. What's your blog's url just in case?
