> and no more bug fixes
Angular 2 was released in Sep 2016. AngularJS continued releases up until Jul 2018, with 3 years of security fixes after that. 5 years is plenty of time to rewrite your app.

Either they backed down, or my memory is faulty. I recall at the time the announcement was that they were doing a hard cutover support wise. But since I wasn’t developing in Angular it was more of an interesting thing and not an immediate concern.
You’re right, 5 years is plenty of time.
Second, they immediately announced no migration path and no more bug fixes at the same time. I’m not sure if they stuck with that, I was in the backbone camp at that time, but that is a painful pill to swallow. That they made that call without considering the downstream pain is a sign to me that I should be wary about depending on them
