I somehow do not get all that bashing. Angular did extremely great things with Angular 1 (back then). As time passed, the community learned that there are better/other concepts. React came out - nice. NG2/4 therefore had to include major changes to pave the way for the future and more modern concepts. And it is important that they do that because some people have built huge teams and applications based on Angular. So, thanks! From ng1 perspective, the migration path to ng2/4 is more economic than a Vue or React rewrite. We examined that in depth. This is why we upgraded to ng2 instead of rewriting the application in Vue or React. And as i can see it, ng5 fixes major issues from ng2 and we're happy that the Angular team keeps on pushing here.

> ng5 fixes major issues from ng2 Good grief, this is insanity. I'm still dealing with major issues in ng1.

  Consider upgrading. Ng2/4 fixes a lot of major issues in ng1. It takes you a week or so but you'll have a solid foundation for the future. And it's as i said more economic than doing a full rewrite to react/vuejs (of course VueJS is sexy as hell)

People jump on a victim train too easy. If they can't complain on life, they complain on JS or Angular. If you think something is better, ok thanks, we will consider it. But what is the alternative? React? Good god, never. Vue? Can't comment, but doesn't seem to be doing good: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Angular%20tutorial,Vue%20js%20tutorial,React%20js%20tutorial https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Angular%...

  Google trends can be quite hard to read - that search term will include Angular 1, which is far larger than Angular 5. Github stars is a more precise metric. There, react has 80K, Vue is close with 72K (and gaining ground), and both are far ahead of angular on 30K (as of early November 2017). https://github.com/vuejs/vue https://github.com/vuejs/vue https://github.com/facebook/react https://github.com/facebook/react https://github.com/angular/angular https://github.com/angular/angular
