  I was really trying to make a post before the post about React because I too saw it coming. More about the fact that I saw it coming though. I didn't intend on it to come off as "React is better, lets look this way instead", but a "I feel like this is unfortunately looming over Angular's head, here's what I think Angular's predicament is". Tomatoes potatoes, but I think it's an important distinction. I think angular2 is a lot more interesting than angular 1.x and has a lot of merit, especially for a company wanting a "batteries included" framework, opinionated syntax or Typescript throughout. A lot of developers seem to hear angular and still think inefficient 2-way binding or 'enterprise-y' when that's not the case. The roll-out took awhile, bad timing happened, and there was initial confusion over migration. In the meantime 'some' developers found the next shiny thing without considering angular2 anymore. They're obviously very different approaches and ecosystems so an AB comparison doesn't do it justice and the comment section of HN isn't a good place for that. I'm just commenting on the developer smell around the framework as I smell it today. Sorry if I came off as 'that guy'.
