How about we all try them first?

• noelwelsh 13y ago
  Well, one reason to get others' opinions to avoid having to try everything oneself. Time is limited.
  • sambeau 13y ago
    Well, yes. I was more hoping those that have a strong opinion on one or the other would ensure that they try them both first.

  While this attitude is in-line with general hacker values, and is good advice when dealing with simple tools, it is a poor general principle when applied to complex tools with an ecosystem of experts whose opinions you trust. In the case at hand, spending half a day each (or even more) with angular and ember is not enough time to gain a truly informed opinion of either. These are big frameworks with many features, and each harbors both gotchas and benefits that won't emerge until you've worked with them over time in real projects. For developers with limited time, asking advice from fellow trusted developers is not only acceptable, but also, in many cases, the clearly optimal strategy. Of course, the trick is to find experienced people to ask with tastes and values similar to your own.

    Unless those trusted developers are also experts in both, you're back to square one.
