I disagree that Angular 2 is a completely different framework. Rather, it's like Angular 1 re-imagined for the ES6+ world. Many of the concepts are the same, like data binding, "scope," and Dependency Injection. The big change is moving to new syntax and a new foundation on object-oriented concepts. The framework had to adapt and shed some of its custom solutions to what are now available standard in the language.
