People saying it's too late and that they moved one, I think you are exaggerating.

Nothing stays static in our industry. It seems like we as developers are always looking for something new. Remember that React is already 3 years old, and Angular 1 peaked popularity when it was 3-4 years old.

I think that given time, we will see Angular 2 takes the stage, especially in large organizations that benefit TS and the completeness (opinionated) of NG2.

Anyways, I love the fact that NG2 is built with ES6,7 and TS in mind, while React was only modified to work with it.

Imo, if those large enterprises do actual research on angular2's features and track record(like router crisis and breaking changes in RC), they will stay away from angular2.

Though most folks choose angular because it is backed by google, so i am certain that angular2 will see adoption. But it will not reach the levels of angular 1

Those breaking changes were specifically because Angular2 wasn't done. Google is moving to semver now, so that shouldn't be an issue going forward. It definitely isn't a "reason not to use it".

Logically speaking as angular team has said that they will follow semver, you are definitely correct.

But practically speaking: once bitten, twice shy.

what were you bitten by? An open dev process? Would you rather they did everything behind closed doors and only presented the final result?

If the release candidate is not a release candidate, do not call it a release candidate.

If you are unwilling to do that, then I would prefer you work privately, yes.
