Hey guys, just FYI, don't make sexual analogies between you and technologies in blog posts like this. It's super creepy! Edit: The breakup analogy, while stupid, isn't that creepy, but personifying technologies as sexual relationships sure is. We're technologists, this post can be just as entertaining if the title is "Why I'm No Longer Using Angular"

You can write Angular 2+ in ES6 (but there are no docs for pure JS). Angular 4 is completely backwards compatible with 2. I upgraded multiple applications at work without changing code. It doesn't seem like the author used Angular 2+ in production much. It just sounds like he was sick of the Angular ecosystem/releases and was ready to move on
