Interesting... their language really seems geared towards pitching Angular as a rapid-prototyping tool. They explicitly mention UX designers, but not developers:

"Express your ideas with clean, understandable code. Angular is simple to build on, easy to change, and friendly to the way UX designers work. Create a UI that is beautiful by default, with material design and support for web components."

Shouldn't we be rapid-prototyping our ideas? Isn't that what "hackers" do often? "Hack" something together and then iterate like mad, failing fast on bad ideas and moving forward with the good ones?

I think a lot of us already see AngularJS as a development framework. A big part of developing something is also UX design. Do you have UX designers on your development team? I know that I do, and I can help sell Angular to them if they feel represented (as they should be).

Of course you should! I am a UX designer (sort of)! In fact, the only time I've used Angular was when I used the Ionic framework to create a proof-of-concept to test with users.

I was just commenting on the fact that they are marketing it as such. Previously, they didn't really seem to use such language.

I think it's a great move on their part, and it seems like it's a useful tool for rapid prototyping.
