I'm definitely not qualified to provide an opinion. My short summary:

Backbone was tiring for me and my partner with all the files and code to set up each view. I also never liked putting templates in script tags -- it just felt dirty. We see Ember and Angular as similar (how do you pick which language you like?), and we only picked one for atheistic reasons (data-binding in HTML) in our current project. Since I haven't written the same app in each framework, it would be unfair to comment further.




I'm confused about what sense Ember doesn't have data binding in HTML. How is this not data binding in HTML:

   <div {{bindAttr class="highlighted:paid"}}>{{name}}</div>
... genuine question from someone who hasn't built much more than toy apps in Ember and Angular.


I also find data-binding in HTML to be aesthetically pleasing. We use knockout, which has served us well but feels like we'd rather be an Angular.

What are you working on? I did a quick trawl of your history but didn't see any mention.


(this post is crazy to watch -- so many strong opinions!)

If you're like me, then you'd want to see some examples of craftsmanship to weigh the value of different opinions. Unfortunately, I can't provide links to these example works due to a very strict NDA (we did the work on behalf of a couple brand names, and ironically they wanted privacy). The projects definitely fell into the category of 'shit crud app' :)
