I'm sure there are plenty of people here who can code AngularJS (myself included), so can't we just code it collaboratively?
Try to get in touch with "Cryptios" or just use "Coinbistro" to test and report bugs: Coinbistro.com - Epochtalk testing grounds

Why is it dragging for so long like this?
Here you go [I do know 2 years has passed since @theymos made that comment but I think, for the most part, they're still accurate]:
- I've highlighted the main parts.

    The things blocking a transition from the current software to the new software are:
     - There hasn't been enough testing. I think that immediately after transition, a variety of small missed features, bugs, and performance issues would crop up. As a result, if the transition happened now (which is technically possible!), I'd expect the post-transition user experience to be poor for months while these things are fixed, which I don't want.
     - I am the only bitcointalk.org sysadmin and on-demand programmer, and I'm used to the current software. Furthermore, I need to frequently make changes to the current software, but each change I make might require alterations to Epochtalk, which is problematic.
     - The current PHP software, while ugly and sub-optimal in many ways, performs well, especially since I have extensively modified the backend to add features and improve performance. So I don't feel much urgency.
     - The data-transition procedure still has a few known minor bugs.
