> and then learning that the great leap forward for Angular 2 was "yeah we're going to throw all that bullshit out we were wrong. I wasn't in webdev-land when the migration happened, but as someone who maintains both AngularJS and Angular2 code, they don't seem all that different. Especially considering the later versions of ng1 tossed out all the globals (components with isolate scope by default) and moved to class-based directives. And then ng2 came along and rewrote everything into a prettier API (typescript with decorators and shit). But otherwise they both seem to have the same design when it comes to change detection, dependency injection, controllers / views, etc.
