Changing technologies would mean a new learning curve – a short-term drop in productivity – for all of our front-end developers, so it wasn’t a decision we took lightly. On the other hand, those who had tried Angular during Hack Week were excited by its possibilities – we felt it would enable the creation of better features, with nicer/better code, and would boost productivity once we got over the initial hump. At the end of the meeting, we had decided to use Angular for our new projects moving forward, and even to abandon a Closure-based alpha version of one of our new products and rewrite it using Angular.
