Any chance you can do a quick cons review too? Specifically comparing to the weakness of Angular 1 like bloated complexities, issue with custom directives or scope life-cycle.

Cons: 1. Typescript. If your team isn't familiar with it it's not trivial to get everyone on board. The up-front cost can absolutely be worth it in the long run, but there's some friction in the day-to-day work with managing type definition files and looking up esoteric lint-errors from the Typescript compiler. 2. RXJS. Canonical NG2 should use Observables, and rxjs is not a trivial library to learn the ins and outs…

Solid list. Having just used Angular 2 on a side project, I'd also add that I'm not the biggest fan of passing properties between components. @Input and @Output don't seem particular intuitive nor necessary, but maybe I'm just used to React.

I use Angular 2 in production since November 19, 2015 (alpha.46). Currently I've built 3 web apps (40, 60 and 20 components each), 3 mobile apps (with Ionic 2) and my employer have plans for more apps. Breaking changes during alpha stage were expected, so I didn't have issues with it. Most positive things I want to highlight: 1. Components are encapsulated and truly reusable (and without dependencies hell). 2. You do…

Do you know of any large projects that use Angular 2? I just want see how readable the projects are.

I'd like some good examples too that aren't barebones tutorials.

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.

I'm currently in the same boat. Both are similar in that they are component-oriented. There are two important factors in my mind. 1. The ecosystem (as you mentioned). React has a clear head start here, but I expect Angular2 to make some gains over time. 2. Angular2 gives you a full framework, and as they say now, a whole platform. React is smaller and you rely on a bunch of other packages to get all the extra feature…

So did Angular 1, and then they threw it under a bus. Now developers have to either refactor for a whole new framework or get stuck with a legacy one.

Javascript ecosystem is becoming so hostile a project deprecates itself in favor of a clean rewrite and the migration path is an afterthought.

Will think twice before adopting google frameworks and tools.

Javascript ecosystem is in dire need of stability and trust.

Not sure if this helps, but trying to learn Angular2 I wrote a weather app with it using RC5. It is not the cleanest and I never used Angular 1 so I can't do a comparison.

congrats to ng-team! funny i just spent an hour yesterday upgrading to 3.0.0-rc.7 I see their quick start has been updated to use the final. https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/quickstart.html agree with other comments that RxJS is a tough library to learn but I love that they used it instead of re-inventing that wheel. It is incredibly powerful and solves a lot of asynchronous programming problems. you can see all of…

Surely you know that 3.0.0-rc.7 was deprecated in favor of 3.0.0-rc386, right?

:-p

I lost so much time with Angular 1. I don't care how much v2 is better than v1, I'm not touching it with a ten foot pole (disclaimer: switched to React, not looking back).

I'm really feeling the pain right now. Convinced previous company react was better. Even built my own app in React, now I'm at a new place that is using Angular 1.5. My god, it's so painful trying to get everything working correctly with jquery plugins. The blessed route often doesn't work, even though technically it should. I'm also getting performance issues for really simple scenarios...

Serious question : Why are SPA frameworks so popular these days? When someone asks "What should I use for web development?", It's now all about React/Angular/Ember/etc.

But when I look at how are built the sites I like and visit frequently, I'd say 95% of them are not SPA, they are classic sites where the server generate each page (sometimes with one or two Ajax requests)!

The Single Page pattern is great for desktop-like applications such as Gmail, it's obvious. But otherwise, I don't know... I think I still prefere the "feel" of classic websites.
