React won and those of us stuck on Angular 1 are mostly fucked. From that perspective, you'd have to be absolutely fucking insane to even consider Angular 2 after how badly the Angular team fucked up Angular 1 and all its users, leaving them in the dust. It's not about tech. Tech is irrelevant. I cannot trust this team to stand behind their software. Maybe that's because they build really shitty software. Fool me once and all that ... but IMO, you'd have to be a fool to use Angular 2+ after this fiasco.

I purposely chose to build on angular 1 instead of angular 2 when I started a project about a year ago. I'm actually glad I did, because every question you have has an answer already on the internet. I think it's actually good to stay behind the times in a lot of ways, let everybody else work out the bugs, then jump on board once it's all working well. Of course if I started now I would go with Vue, which I think is what angular 2 should have been - faster and simpler.
Is your problem more with the lack of proper migration to Angular 2 or with the differences between 1 and 2?
My problem is that I don't trust the Angular team not to abandon Angular 2 like they did with 1. Angular 2 should have been named something else to avoid all this confusion around Angular 1's abandonment.
