THIS!

This is exactly what I was trying to figure out how to type.

Right now ember is especially hard to learn since it is constantly changing and ember-data isn't done yet. As a result there are 5 different ways of doing something and when you get stuck you finally solve it by finding someone else who had the same problem and that is when you learn that the tutorial was for rc3, not rc5. But the huge problem is that it took you forever to get there.

I personally think Ember will win, and it will win hard, for the professional developer market. I think it will come down to Rails : PHP :: Ember : Angular, but in the mean time angular will get a huge head start.

Once people get used to those common single bugs that keep them stuck for hours, they will be far more productive for non-trivial applications than angular devs will be.



> constantly changing

1.0.0.rc1 was released on February 15, and (to my knowledge) there has been _one_ backwards-incompatible change since then.

> ember-data isn't done yet

You don't need to use ember-data: http://eviltrout.com/2013/03/23/ember-without-data.html


It is painful to try to learn something when different articles all say how to do a hello world differently. It doesn't matter the reasons why, it is just harder. I get it now, but don't make it like it is easy for someone to learn.
