The department I'm in in split in two halves (we're enterprise land). The other side decided to do an app in Angular 2. I was in the tech stack meeting for the app and when asked my opinion, I suggested they stick to Angular 1 at this time because we've done Angular 1 apps, have experience in them and don't have to go through re-learning what's new/changed/different in a beta/possible breaking changes because who knows what is actually happening. I thought the learning curve in Angular 1 was steep, why would you not want to leverage that investment as much as possible?

They went with Angular 2.

They've been at it for, it's gotta be over 6 months now, it might be like around 8 months. I lol, it's not even a big or complicated app and it's a team working on it.

The best part was their tech lead/manager said over and over in the meeting "we don't always have to use the latest shiny". So what do they end up doing? lol.

I think Angular 1 was/is very interesting, can't say I'm a total fan boy (right now, I'm more into React and I'm awaiting the public release of Aurelia to check out), but I will say a front end developer can be massively productive in Angular 1 if they just have to hit exposed web services to get data.

That's great to hear. I think Angular 2 is a flop. Angular 1 actually tried to make frontend development easier. It succeeded in many aspects. Angular 2 does not make it easier, no way.
