>> "Several months ago the general direction of Angular 2.0 began to change in critical ways. I found myself fundamentally at odds with certain aspects of the proposed design. Still, I tried to keep an open mind and explore the various possibilities. Unfortunately, I haven't been satisfied with how things have progressed since then. At this point, there are too many irreconcilable differences. The Angular that's being built is not the Angular I signed up to work on and after careful consideration I do not believe it’s best for the Durandal community." Ouch. Angular 2.0 is really looking the ugly beast, isn't it? I mean, killing off core 1.x concepts like $scope, controllers, DDO, jqLite, while introducing a new programming language to suit the framework -- even if optional -- is it too much? I feel Angular 2.0 isn't really Angular. It's a new framework that shares the name only for branding purposes. And now seeing the respected Rob Eisenberg leave the team based on irreconcilable design differences really undermines my faith in Angular 2.0.
