#2OP: after this there should be no complaints from Angular, Backbone, or Batman that Ember has insufficient documentation for building a real app. Between this and / or trek.github.com you should be good to build a serious Ember application.

#3Whenever I read ember source code, I think of messy and verbose JSP applications.

Backbone is also verbose and I dislike using it. For this reason, I want to like Ember. But I can't. I can't like any of this crap because it's too taxing on your mind. How many times am I going to write Ember.Router.Extend before I shoot myself in the head?
Sure, you might argue this is a necessity and a limitation of the language. Then change your thinking. I'm convinced that I need to do something about this. I need to take LSD and have some mind altering experience and create a new rails-like movement for browser-side application development that breaks out of this insanity we're all a part of.
Why do we continue to make web development so hard on ourselves? We're creating all these frameworks but none of them are truly changing the way we build products for the better.

Any new framework is taxing on your mind... I doubt Rails was any different for you... especially if you were doing Rails during the same stage of it's lifespan as Ember is in now.

You can write Em.Router.extend instead /troll. The thing is that client-side MVC is still pretty new (the initial Backbone commit is from Sept 2010 IIRC). I totally agree that a rails-like movement is necessary but I believe that Ember is the project which espouses the same values as Rails. Also, I think that Ember is somewhat similar to Rails in that for small applications, the advantage might not be that large but as the application grows in size, the advantage of using Ember becomes more apparent.

#6Even though I'm still an Ember noob, I've read this guide some time ago and it was the one resource that made a lot of things click. Props to sgharms.
