"Who thought it was a good idea to make Angular 2 incompatible with Angular 1?"
This is so much discussed that I am not going to answer that. Google it.
But according to the latest StackOverflow survey [1] Angular is still bigger than you think: AngularJS 44.3%, React 19.5%

- fatal510 10y agoBecause Angular was the only real choice for awhile. That's like saying PHP is still bigger than you think because half the web runs on PHP but that is old legacy shit. Almost othing new and serious is using it.
- EugeneOZ 10y agoThere was Ember.
- daliwali 10y agoEmphasis on the past tense -- "was" :)
- awesomepeter 10y agoWhat does this actually mean?
- nrjames 10y agoDiscourse uses Ember. It's pretty successful. http://www.discourse.org/ http://www.discourse.org/
- parroquiano 10y agoEmber has bad performance on Android[0]. The Discourse team had to write their own Virtual DOM renderer to work around this[1].

- dbbk 10y agoThat was over 2 years ago.
- d3ad1ysp0rk 10y agoWhat do you consider "serious"? Plenty of large applications are being built right now in PHP 7.
- recursive 10y ago"Serious" means it was started by a person who regularly blogs or tweets about how to choose a technology.
- EugeneOZ 10y agoNo answer is better than arrogant answer.
- pasta 10y agoI didn't want to sound arrogant. But when Angular 2 was released the whole web broke down in anger and had questions like this. So there are a lot of good answers on StackOverflow and other sites. So my answer to the question was something like: "You can find a lot of info by Googling it". But I am not able to change my comment anymore.
- davedx 10y agoMost companies don't switch quickly. We have a huge Angular 1.x app, but after hiring some new developers for our team we found the pool of React devs was huge compared to Angular devs. So much developer goodwill and mindshare has been lost. After carefully evaluating the technical aspects of Angular and React and externalities like the above, we decided to start building new software with React. Angular won't go away overnight, it will see a very steady and slow attrition, with developers themselves leading the way.
- pasta 10y agoI also skipped Angular 2 and moved to VueJS. Never been happier. But I was responding to "You had it, and you blew it. Most people aren't going to use any version of Angular, now, and have switched to React and Vue." When you look at the stats and look at other places online there are still very much people liking and using Angular. So it's not going away soon. Also take a look at Google trends: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=angular,react https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=angular,react Both Angular and React are growing at an equal pace. So the claim that developing new versions of Angular is a waste of time is nonsense.
- LocalPCGuy 10y agoBetter trend comparison (the other one the first example query for react was "Youtubers react") https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%2Fm%2F0j45p7w,%2Fm%2F012l1vxv https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%2Fm%2F0j45p7w,%2...
- remline 10y agoThese fad shifts are inherent because there is little point in competing with 0 years experience in an established tech if the market will allow breaking changes. Angular is actually better off with the break as new graduates may use it to replace vue as the new fad once vue has replaced react.
- davidjnelson 10y agoSimilar to what happened with backbone when angular gained traction.
- owebmaster 10y agoIf you are not going to answer it, don't add noise to the discussion.
- nkkollaw 10y agoThat's legacy projects I bet. Of course, big projects have to stay with a technology for at least 2 years, can't keep rewriting things every time a new framework comes out. In this case, they unfortunately picked a framework that was discontinued. I talked to many devs who didn't accept a job because it was Angular instead of React.
- LocalPCGuy 10y agoThat is purely anecdotal. There are a lot of companies and devs outside your circles that don't jump on the new shiny, and will continue to use Angular going forward.
- nkkollaw 10y agoIt was a rhetorical question...
