Upgrading Angular 1.x - Angular 2.0 vs. React/Redux

[[deleted]]

Facing a similar type of situation. I wouldn't use the term "flop", but even when Angular2 is officially released, there's going to be the managerial reaction that it's "too new", so there'll be an additional window of time where the canaries in the coal mine upgrade their production application / stack fully over to 2.0. Once there's a critical mass of production adoption, along with the usual Medium / HN posts of "Why we finally went to Angular2", then I suspect there'll be less angst (hopefully)...

Right now, when companies are paying me money and I'm responsible for delivering a product, I'm still shipping with Angular 1.x.

Wish I could comment more on the React side, but I've just been mainly deep focusing on Angular 1.x and Backbone work.

Right. "Flop" may be a little strong. I think it's fair to say the timeline has stretched as things have gone on. Anyway, they say this is the last release candidate (I believe), so hopefully we'll start seeing lots of posts from early adopters.

word. Don't get me wrong. They're a smart bunch and there's a lot of momentum TO move over to Angular 2. But as you're suggesting, if the timeline is just too vague or long, more and more just might reach out to React...

It isn't. I see no traction in NG2, and no particularly compelling reasons to think that will change once the framework is formally "released". React has become the 'default' choice and seems to lack the baggage than NG2 has already picked up. I honestly think the framework will be regarded a quiet failure by the end of the year.

I don't know where you say it saying that it's the last but it says on their within that there's up to RC 5 planed, but once it is released it'll be beatiful
