I had a good go at Angular. I felt like it as a decent framework with interesting concepts. I built an app with it. Next project I thought I'd try Ember. It's very much my way or the highway. Huge amounts stuff learn. Not only concepts, but all those conventions. Very narrowly scoped models to which the whole world will conform (it doesn't, not without tying yourself in knots). The same thing that really puts me off Rails. I ditched Ember for the project and now I'm using React which I picked up in an hour and it's brilliant. YMMV. But I can't stand arrogance, and, to my mind, Ember drips with it. That includes renaming things that already have names.

One thing that many of these techs do is take one primitive, such as a function, and then call it half a dozen different things - making it look like there's a difference. I understand the goals of such an exercise, but I'm not convinced that it leads to quicker to deploy, easier to maintain, simpler to modify software. I think they must have different goals in mind when they write code - a lot of people clearly love the stuff. I just don't know what these goals are.
