I've actually been doing the opposite, migrating my app from Angular to Ember, and I'm very pleased with Ember so far. Angular is an interesting and powerful framework, but it has a lot of gotchas and requires a large amount of boilerplate code for things like object persistence. Learning how $resource and services worked took a lot of time and the documentation is not entirely clear, especially for someone new to javascript frameworks like myself.
It took me about a month and a half to learn the ins and outs of Angular and FuelPHP to get my app to the point it was at. Within a couple of days of experimentation with Ember and Rails, I was at the same point. I'm moving forward MUCH more quickly with deploying the app at this point.
I will admit that the Ember docs are sparse. They're getting better, but occasionally inaccurate or just not there. Still, there is documentation for most things you would want to do, and when there isn't the community is good help.
Both Ember and Angular are great frameworks, but after evaluating both I'm definitely sticking with Ember. Maybe it's just because it makes more sense to me, but I've been able to accomplish a lot more much more quickly.
