Are Angular UI and Angular Material mutually exclusive?

Question

To use Angular Material (1.x), do we need Angular UI. If I use Angular Material alone, will I get features similar to Angular UI (apart from Material Design)?

Are they mutually exclusive, or dependent on one another?

Basically, I want to use Material Design with Angular JS. I'm new to both, so I'm unclear whether I need to use Angular UI as well.

Can someone summarize?

Angular material was created to follow Google Material Design - in that design a lot of things are documented like animation speed, paddings, fonts, etc. Obviously angular UI do not follow these rules.

However, angular material is far from being completed framework - so you always need to use something else - i.e. in angular material there are no tables at all.

Some things you can find in both - i.e. $uibModal vs $mdToast.

To sum, you can use both at the same time, but you will need to fix look and feel.

then seems like choosing Angular Material is bad choice for now. For Angular 2, is there Angular UI or just Angular material 2?

For Angular 2, the AngularUI team is developing ng-bootstrap, here: ng-bootstrap.github.io
