AngularJS 1.5 introduced component directives in order to help us say goodbye to our controllers and even to our directives. This step was crucial in order to help us move closer to Angular 2 components logic where everything, even our whole application, is a component.
Angular 2 is still in beta but it is moving fast to its first stable release. The truth is that many developers and companies have to manage some old applications written in AngularJS 1.x. So the question is this? Do you still use controllers and directives in AngularJS 1.x or you have already upgraded to AngularJS 1.5.x in order to use only components preparing your app for the big switch to Angular 2 - if not done yet?

1.5 came out just 2 months ago.
If you've created new projects in the last 2 months and started out fresh on 1.5 - ok.
But if you have any established code base > 2 views, making a transition like this will take time.
Just curious what kind of projects the people that vote "No I use only components" are working on.
