Ask HN: What's the deal with Angular 2.0?

As a front end developer, Angular 2.0 is not even on my mind anymore because they just keep delaying the release. I planned to learn it when it is released but chose React instead because learning Angular 1.x seemed kinda stupid considering they are doing an overhaul. At this point I feel like Angular is losing a ton of steam now, while React is gaining momentum with companies like Netflix using it for their frontend. I feel like React introduced a bunch of really great ideas for the web that Angular 2.0 is just playing catch up at this point.
