Material Components for the Web vs Angular Material 2
<p>Recently, the successor to MDL (Material Design Lite) project was launched as <a href="https://github.com/material-components/material-components-web" rel="noreferrer">Material Components for the Web</a>. One of its goals is "Seamless integration with other JS frameworks and libraries". </p>

<p>There is another project <a href="https://github.com/angular/material2" rel="noreferrer">Angular Material2</a> which provides material design components specifically for Angular (v2+). </p>

<p>Both projects are creating material design based <strong>UI components</strong>. Also, they have similar set of components <a href="https://github.com/angular/material2#available-features" rel="noreferrer">ready</a>/<a href="https://github.com/material-components/material-components-web/tree/master/packages" rel="noreferrer">in-active-development</a>, and same set of components as coming-soon (listed <a href="https://github.com/angular/material2#available-features" rel="noreferrer">here</a> and <a href="https://github.com/material-components/material-components-web/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=is%3Aopen%20is%3Aissue%20label%3Av2-component%20" rel="noreferrer">here</a>).</p>

<p>Can someone please help me understand the overlap between 2 projects and which one should I pick for new projects? </p>

<p>At a fundamental level, I do understand Angular Material2 will more seamlessly and tightly integrate with Angular projects, while Material Components for the Web will provide hooks for multiple JS frameworks to use. But I fail to see reason for overlap and which one will have more momentum (read more components). </p>
