After working on a few large JS applications (using Backbone or Angular or React), I decided to try out Ember for a relatively smaller application.
Ember feels very Rails-y (likely on purpose) and the documentation wasn't great. It took me a few hours to get a surface level understanding of how things worked with each other, especially Ember Data. I ultimately ended up dropping it because of my frustration. It was only a couple months ago (early December 2015).
Obviously I'm just one data point but I know I've talked to other devs who feel the same way. I'm sure Ember will only get better but I don't think it's the antidote at all.
