Front end development is crazy these days. I remember on my road to learning Java EE banging my head on the wall trying to put together things like dependency management with Maven, ORM's, and all sorts of arcane concepts and patterns. It took me a long time to get to that point but now it seems all too familiar.

As someone coming up to speed with frameworks like React and Angular 2 it feels like that all over again.

There's more info on future plans here: https://angularjs.blogspot.com.au/2016/09/angular2-final.htm...

Specifically:

  > Bug fixes and non-breaking features for APIs marked as stable
  > More guides and live examples specific to your use cases
  > More work on animations
  > Angular Material 2
  > Moving WebWorkers out of experimental
  > More features and more languages for Angular Universal
  > Even more speed and payload size improvements

And immediately:

  > Semantic Versioning

I expected angular.io to be a flashy example Angular 2 SPA and was disappointed when I realized it was just a regular old static HTML website. I guess most of the content is more suited for a static site. At least the search bar on the docs page looks like it has some Angular going on. Also it would be neat if the docs had dynamic examples instead of screenshots.

Yes!!, I was starting to get nervous I jumped the gun using it at work!

As someone who uses Angular 1 currently but would pick React for their next project, I'd love to see a list of reasons why I should use Angular 2 over React.

If nothing else, Angular just stranded all their developers, while React has a huge head start on mindshare/plugins/tutorials/etc.

Found this pretty helpful in grasping differences between angular 1 and 2.

Is there a definitive angular versus react versus ember (or others) pros/cons/community status page out there somewhere?

As someone who uses React currently, this would be useful to me too.

I think in angular everything is already tied together, and you just write code.
