Is Ember the cool JS framework now? It seems nice enough to me. I have such a headache from thinking about this front-end framework idealogy. I've used a few tools but I generally don't make one-page apps so I stick to JQuery + micro frameworks and maybe some React.

I got to use Ember for a sweet four months before moving companies to one that uses Angular. While each framework has its advantages, I would say that Ember is far superior in terms of architecture, vision and a helpful web community. It also has a secure and stable path to 2.0 and becoming fully component-ized. I wouldn't say it is the cool framework though-- it rarely gets mentioned in the same breath as Angular and Backbone and React, and in terms of "coolness" here on HN, React seems to get all the love.

I personally think that Ember is the best one of the bunch. The only gripe I have with it is that I think that requesting models from multiple endpoints could be more ergonomic but other than that it's a pretty dank framework and it's getting danker with each release.

>Is Ember the cool JS framework now? My casual following of various frameworks (through HN and Twitter signals) seems that ~12-18 months ago Angular and Ember were duking it out for current "cool kid" status with Angular seeming to edge Ember out. But framework trendiness comes and goes like seasons of American Idol (or maybe Eurovision) and ~6-9 months ago React took the top spot for now.

  I'd say this is fairly accurate from my standpoint compiling trends[1] from whoishiring threads here on HN. Ember has not really taken off like Angular and React. Angular was a rocket, but React is now rising even faster than Angular did, while Ember just goes along at a pretty flat pace.
