Watching the milestone burndown on github for RC5 looks like it should be here pretty soon (two weeks-ish maybe is my guess), after that it appears the team will be on the last sprint.

I've been writing a few greenfield apps on NG2 since late alhpas and the thrash from RC0 thru RC3 was pretty painful but now playing with the new Router and Forms I get the feeling that the pain was worth it. Things seem relatively stable in RC4 and I really like the Router and Forms apis.

I am staying away from the Angular CLI since I reallllly want the bundling and tree shaking but am moving forward without it for now since it is using the old Router and Forms libs. In my opinion the CLI is the only tool I wouldn't bother until NG2 is done and fully out of RC mode.

I am still optimistic that NG2 is the right solution long term.
