>> Angular2 gives you a full framework, and as they say now, a whole platform.

So did Angular 1, and then they threw it under a bus. Now developers have to either refactor for a whole new framework or get stuck with a legacy one.

Javascript ecosystem is becoming so hostile a project deprecates itself in favor of a clean rewrite and the migration path is an afterthought.

Will think twice before adopting google frameworks and tools.

Javascript ecosystem is in dire need of stability and trust.

They didn't just do this "because." There were sound technical reasons to do so. Angular made the correct decision, in my opinion, and decided to cut its losses immediately and right the wrongs within the framework.

Well... I would argue that angular 2 is not even better than angular 1 so it will probably happen again :p It's more performant, but that's about it. It's insane, java/spring like complex for no reason.

Really? So mobile support, change detection revamp, TypeScript, the removal of $scope, and all the routing changes are all just "meh" to you?

Wellllllll... I does make me want to learn React & React Mobile if I have to largely start over, anyway.

Not saying ng-2 is not an improvement, just that it's a big change to take in.
