Ember.js or Angular.js?

#1
Which is best overall? Which is best in certain common situations? Which is most enjoyable? Which is more maintainable? Why not ember? Why not angular? What are common "gotchas" for each framework?

This is a good post on why Discourse chose Ember: http://eviltrout.com/2013/02/10/why-discourse-uses-emberjs.h...

Indeed, great post. I'm really interested in seeing perspectives of those who've used both though, hopefully those mysterious people exist ;)

I have enormous confidence in the capabilities of the team working on Ember. jQuery, Sproutcore, Rails core team members. If you're a Rails developer, the existence of active_model_serializers as a quasi-standard for how JSON is shuttled between tiers suggests that Ember has taken a position of strong thought leadership on a lot of things that other frameworks just don't have the reach to do.

Also, the recent Peepcode screencast on Ember is brilliant.

Take a look at source code examples of Angular and Ember Todo apps: http://addyosmani.github.com/todomvc/ Some interesting facts about Todo apps: Angular.js: 10 requests, 41.94kb transferred. Ember.js: 17 requests, 334.12kb transferred.

If by interesting you mean totally misleading, then sure!

The Ember.js version included is unminified, and the number of files reflect several small files rather than one big file. The goal of TodoMVC is to compare code style.

But sure, we'll submit a pull request to TodoMVC to use the minified version of Ember.

Looks like the peepcode screencast is paid:

I suppose you'll say it's well worth the money? Anyone else bought/watched this screencast?

I bought it. It was definitely worth the money.
