  I was a huge Ember evangelist until I started trying to onboard other devs into my project. It took months for people to figure out which way was up. In comparison, other devs picked up Vue in a week or so.

    Exact same problem here. I've written ~20k LOC non trivial web app in Ember and getting someone into the project that didn't had prior experience in Ember was really tough. Then we were thinking about Vue too and like in your example, that person picked up Vue in around a week also.

    Interesting, because my company chosen Ember precisely because it would start a hiring wave of new developers, often junior ones. Mostly because of Ember's "convention over configuration". I dont see much of this problem, including myself as one of these just hired jr devs.

      The projects I work typically have very fast turn around times (2-4 months), so I don't have the time to teach a dev use a framework, and I definitely don't have the time to onboard junior developers. I need a framework where any experienced JavaScript developer can pick up the project and deliver working product in a week. With Ember/Angular/React+Redux, I have to hunt for a developer that specializes in that particular framework. With Vue, the hiring pool is vastly larger.

    Same here. Going back to some large ember projects I built just 2-3yrs ago, it's almost impossible to comprehend. Also, it's impossible to upgrade to the latest version of Ember due to the amount of churn they went through from 1.x to 2.x
