One of the biggest benefit of Angular is the vast amount of libraries built on it, like bootstrap-ui and ui-grid to name a few, how can we switch to Angular 2 until the most adopted ones don't switch too? (real question)

Depends on how brave you are, really.

While a lot of the development community will likely be tracking 2.0's development and working to release libraries not long after 2.0 releases...2.0 is effectively a 1.0 release all over again, so it's a matter of production-readiness not only where community support is concerned, but with itself.

I'm waiting to see where things shake out on all sides after a few releases before really judging anything. We'll still kick the tires on our team here in the meantime.

Notionally, the Angular1<->2 compatibility layer could handle mixing and matching, but I'm not sure how well it'd work in practice
Or the biggest failure. I guess that's how we get 5MB pages which could be done without any JS at all.
