Hi @dereka,
Yes, in the early stage Magento 2 was not a wise choice to use as there weren't lot of help or extensions available but today it's quite stable now. There are many tutorials, extensions, themes are now available now.
Recently, we have launched many websites of our clients migrating them to Magento 2 from Magento 1 or other technologies and we didn't face any major issue we couldn't fix.
There are many stores are not running on Magento 2 and getting launched every day!
The recent Magento 2.2.2 was the best release yet and it's awesome. Take a look.
So I suggest going for Magento 2 now.
Cheers
