Why ROS is still choosen against ROS 2?

@scastro I apologize for being rude with direct personal observations. It was not my intention.
I have also been a researcher (many years ago) and I speak from experience. As a researcher, I have always tried to be as innovative as possible by trying to use cutting-edge tools, not “something that works to be faster”, this is normally how Companies work. But this is just a personal point of view and my personal opinion. Better not to discuss it anymore.

@Katherine_Scott I’m glad that the statistics say that 60% of the community is using ROS 2, my daily experience does not reflect this, but it may be an isolated case.
I know that there are a lot of third-party discussions comparing ROS and ROS 2, focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of both of them, but in your list, you pointed to the only official document that I could find, that is very old (written in 2015, updated in 2017). It was the document that convinced me that it was a good moment to start moving from ROS to ROS 2, but today it’s not enough anymore.

Third-party webpages are important, but they can be seen as a “personal point of view” (like mine here). Official updated documents are more important and this is what is missing (yet in my opinion).

A good starting point could be the homepage of the ROS Wiki, the note on the right column is too few (yet in my opinion).
