This post is titled wrong: > I'm not yet ready to leave my server-side framework behind That is the right title, pulled from the concluding paragraph. This sentiment happens to apply to angular, backbone, knockout and everybody else. The first thing I ever programmed was a single-page web app built with MooTools 5 years ago. Its still the most impressive application I've built and people ooh and ahh over it to this day (which is sad, since I was clueless). When I think about all the JS I've written from then to now, nothing has the promise that ember + ember-data do. My ember code is so straightforward, declarative, and minimal. Perhaps I haven't gone as deep as the author with ember, but when you pick a framework that is very openly pre-release software, and you're already apprehensive about "asynchronous data" (welcome to the web?) don't expect much success.
