  Angular 2.0 is the New Coke of web development. I suspect Google would gain a huge amount of goodwill if they backed down and announced: "You know, we'll rename the incompatible redesign as AngularNext 0.1 and use it to develop cutting-edge ideas. Then we'll bring the best of those into the mainstream Angular over time without breaking compatibility." They could call the rebooted compatible Angular 2.0 "Harmony".

    The Angular team is not going to do backwards compatibility with Angular 1.x with 2.0 at all - they're going to help with migration some with the router, but the api are fully incompatible. FWIW, Angular 2 is awesome to work with, even in its alpha form. Productivity with it should be immensely improved compared to 1.x.

    You should spend some time watching some of the videos about Angular 2.0 from ng-conf, and you may see that there is much less reason for the opinion you have stated. The core team and some of the other presenters really laid out both a migration path going forward as well as the advantages Angular v2.0 will bring, and why they couldn't just do it on top of Angular 1.x.

  I mostly only see this overblown negativity towards Angular here on HN. It's bordering upon knee-jerk FUD.
