If you want to continue using 1.3 (and there are good reasons to), nobody's stopping you. It's not like the 1.3 code base is going to magically stop working the day 2.0 is released. Your investment in 1.3 is still protected by the fact that 1.3 does what it says and does it well.
Oh, and there's no point comparing Angular to Ember. Have you seen or used Ember Data? It includes breaking changes in every release. Not that that is bad. Just get your frame of reference right. You really have no reason to worry. If there's a lot of interest in continuing development on 1.3, there's a simple thing that lets you do that - the fork feature on Github. What you essentially seem to want is people working on Angular to be slaves to your whims and desires. Why else would you complain about them working on something that would make web dev better?
