Re: [AngularJS] Dangers of not keeping up to date with Angular versions?

[Ravi Patel]

Hi Kyle,

If you are using older version of angular then you don't have to worry about breaking functionality. But you do not get the new features of Angular , which is introduce in new version.

And if in case you will plan to upgrade your angular version in future then it will create many issue , which take some time to fix.

For example you are using ang2 and you want to upgrade with ang9--------not easy task.

You can easily upgrade ang2 to ang4, but ang4 to ang5 you have to fix many issue.

So the better idea is that you have to upgrade your application as soon as  angular releases a new version, instead of directly upgrade from ang4 to ang9.

My company is looking to create a large-scale, highly complicated application, potentially using Angular2+.

Our development cycle is much longer than Angular's major-release-every-six-months cycle, and we are hesitant to commit to needing to upgrade every 6 months, or even every 18 months if we tried stretching out into LTS for major releases.

What sort of dangers or complications could we expect if we decided we didn't want to upgrade ever? Or perhaps if we committed to a much slower cycle like upgrade every 4 years?
Will major browsers eventually stop being able to support our "old" application?

Is it likely to break in any other way?

Is choosing to use AngularJS a better long-term option if we don't wish to keep up with updates?

I haven't been able to find clear answers to this so far.
Thanks
