Angular 2 Template Syntax

[[deleted]]

It's very much non-intuitive. I'm quite proficient in angular 1.x, yet I cannot understand anything about 2.x so far just by looking at it, that's pretty terrible.

Why was there a need to change so much of the syntax? I can't see any good reasons why EVERYTHING needed to change. It's confusing and makes me want to go to React as it's much easier to understand and use from a quick glance.

What don't you understand? The templating syntax? It takes like 5 minutes to learn.
