They all have their goods and bads. Just don't use it if you don't like it, and let the community decide.

All I would say is if Google starts widely adopting it (which they already have in e.g. some parts of App Engine even though it was still in beta) people will flock to it.

We shall see. I remain sceptical.

For Angular 2 to be successful, it must

  • achieve cultural penetration sufficient that an NG2 project can hire developers quickly and cheaply;

  • obtain the critical mass of developers needed to expand its ecosystem to suit the general case of web projects;

  • sufficiently impress thought leaders and technical evangelists to create community interests;

  • do all of these things before another, more compelling alternative has already done so.

That's quite a tall order.
