I only work with angular but I wouldn't recommend to chose Angular for any new projects, especially if you have no knowledge in it.

It is already "dead". Of course the existing projects will remain, but create one on a framework you know will not evolve ever again soon doesn't sound like a right move.

Granted given the speed of change in front end whatever you chose will probably disappear in a few years. :/

View on HN

What exactly are you basing this on? Because if it's based on what you read on Hacker News, please realize that you are seeing a very distorted view of the world through the lens of HN. Angular is nowhere near dead, and is still one of the most widely used frameworks in the web development world. Unless, of course, you can provide some actual evidence that supports your claim.

Angular 2 is looking pretty awesome, for the record, and is something on the order of 10-15 times faster than React or any other modern framework out there. I would check your assumptions and look at things objectively.

Thanks for your response. So Angular 2 going to break almost everything in angular 1.x versions?

Unless it changed, you have to think about Angular 2 as a complete new framework that has nothing to do with Angular 1. It sounds like it's just an update but it will really be 2 different thing (just like angular with react or ember, now you can add angular 2 as a new one), I don't know why they kept the name.

Thanks for your insights.
