From one point of view (a user of the framework who doesn't care how the sausage gets made) they are analogous. But from the point of view of someone who developed the solution or who has to micro optimize the solution I believe tom dale is right that it is quite different.

You're right that tomdale came off condescending (as he often does when promoting/defending ember...ah well). But it certainly isn't "duplicitous at best"!

I'd say that both are analogous.

Analogous doesn't mean identical. The results are similar, even though what's happening under the hood is different.
