	},
	write: function(val, oldVal) {

Pros / Cons

Pros

  • Easier to get into vs Angular 1
  • Better LTS support vs Angular 1 (it appears)
  • Super easy-to-use syntax, the layout of methods, data, filters, etc. just makes sense.
  • Data binding is a lot faster/better than angular 1.

Cons

  • Less overall support/users than Angular 1, and likely, 2.
  • Not as mature as Angular.
  • Doesn't come with things such as http.
