Ember.js 1.0 Prerelease

I know Chrome has bad font rendering problems on Windows but this is just atrocious. Also FF is a bit better but not by much. This usually happens to me with webfonts only. The fact that I see so little complaints about this online make me think that perhaps it has something to do with my system.

edit: an even worse example http://i.imgur.com/XTATn.png

Pretty much the same rendering here, Windoze 7 and FF. They're probably all on Macs.

As another case-in-point, check out the headlines at http://christianheilmann.com/ (Chris is on a Mac). Also note the transformed sidebar. I bet that looks much more legible on a Mac.

You may wish to try adjusting your ClearType settings.

I really do love what Ember brings but I need, need, need a production ready persistence layer. Backbone has me spoiled in that area.

Also prototype ninja'ing is on by default. It has a run loop in an event-driven browser.

Really? Backbone collection/models are a simple layer with an Ajax call behind. No relations, no lazy loading, etc. Backbone models are akin to an ember object with a fetch/save call, nothing more. (Good for some scenarios, but not enough for "ambitious web app" IMO)

Ember data has a bigger goal than this and, yes, it takes time to get it right.
