I realize a lot of companies flocked to Angular and it's used in a lot of places, but from the outside it seems to be fighting on two fronts.
1. Companies currently implementing it not wanting it to change or for there to be a quick and painless migration from 1.x to 2.x. So, less change, more hand-holding. The web changed a lot though, so its change is understandable.
2. Trendsetters and upcoming companies looking for something new fresh and solid: Framework competition from React and the like. Maybe that second group is a lot louder in certain circles, startup-y hackernews being one, but it sounds like Angular will eventually reside in the shadow of React if it stays that way for long. Google pulling the plug on things fairly commonly doesn't help with the uncertainty.
Just seems like anytime Angular comes up in conversation, React isn't far behind. This post is no exception I guess, I just can't see Google maintaining Angular if it becomes Dojo in the eyes of developers.
