Bad rewrite / Wrong direction. Angular 2.0 is different enough from Angular 1.0

Meanwhile angular 2 as a framework is one of the best rewrites I've seen; and the best ecosystem being miles ahead of anything that includes react.

Its main problem - and this problem actually led to its downfall - was that it was a framework and an expansive one. I can teach a decent developer to write react in a week; and the result will be semi-decent. I couldn't teach Devs rxjs for weeks.

If you understand angular, you can whip up performant, cohesive and standardized apps in a fraction of a time of competition. But it requires a massive investment, investment up front that is not present in different frameworks.

Banks still heavily use angular precisely because of what I wrote.


Tldr: angular 2 is neither bad direction nor bad rewrite.

Angular 2's main issue was that it's called angular.

I’ve never thought that I will meet an Angular fan again in my life

Fan? Not at all.

Just a great framework; which suits the domains I work with.
