I don't agree with this claim whatsoever - "Angular is aimed at corporate IT departments rather than front-enders"

I'd say it's the other way around, if you read "front-enders" as hobbyists, start ups and SME's. Angular is still far too new and unproven for most big corporate IT departments.

The tide might be about to change - I'm currently doing Angular work for a major car manufacturer.

The Angular juggernaut is like the Java juggernaut at light speed for corporate IT. I'm interested to see how the Angular 2.0 risk assessment is constructed within corporate IT today. Start on a 1.2 project with, potentially, a full rewrite needed within 2-4 years? That's not typically a risk slowly evolving LoB applications take on. Good luck finding Angular devs in 5 years willing to live on the 1.2 brownfield. Until the schism around 2.0 gets resolved, I'm not sure I see this playing out well for them.
