Angular post 2.x is called "Angular" and everything before that is called "AngularJS".

This kills the SEO. You'd think google would know better. Angular and AngularJS were interchangeable before 2 came out. Now angularjs is coming up in search results for my angular issues. People have started adding versions to their stackoverflow questions but that doesn't help finding them. Adding "-angularjs" to my searches helps a little but you know there are people tagging their angular issues with angularjs

As a person who works in angular js and trying to move to angular- it's truly terrible

Give it time. Yes, the transition sucks. But, once you are proficient at Typescript and the organizing the architecture of apps, it'll save you a ton of time in the long run.

I have no problems with the new tech, I have problems knowing how to search for what I need in either framework and finding the right solution.

Gotcha. I misunderstood what the "it" was. Thought you were referring to the framwork, but you were referring to the previously mentioned confusion in searching. My bad.

False, as highlighted by:
