I have been using Angular 2 for 3 months now and so far have loved it (except for the breaking changes in RC series and updating each time). Glad 2.0.0 is here. Here are the few things I loved, amongst other interesting features: 1. Typescript awesomeness: You can write plain JS or give type hints in Typescript. Typescript is awesome, because it is a superset of Javascript and compiles to Javascript. (Typescript > ES…

#72I 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…
What about angular CLI - ? have you found that useful in your workflow?

We've been using Angular 2 for about 6 months now. Having things deprecate several times like the routing engine was annoying but that's the cost of being on the cutting edge. The side benefit is that we learned a lot about the inner workings of Angular. I agree with your annoyance with the UI libaries. It's been a PITA just to find a working datepicker. We eventually rolled our own starting with the source of an aba…
It basically uses the JQuery date picker and works quite well.

#75As 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.
Only downside is trying to hire Scala frontend devs.

#76Earlier quoted context omitted.
But can it compete with this? https://react-bootstrap.github.io/components.html
Opening that link in a new tab beach-balled Firefox for a few seconds. Woof.

#78Is there a way to download Angular2 as Javascript file? Last time I checked I had to install loads of software just to start a Angular project.

#79I evaluated React and Angular 2 several months ago and picked React. Some of the issues I found in Angular 2: The HTML template in Angular 2 is stored in a string. This has several disadvantages: 1. Editors can't do syntax coloring. 2. Editors can't do auto-indenting. 3. Editors can't offer "intellisense" suggestions. 4. Editors can't match tags. You embed variables in this template string like this: ' {{hero.name}}…
Also with AOT compile, breakpoints inside templates are possible, so you absolutely can step through an NgFor :)
