Wait, is one use-case that works out of the box to have a view that works both in text-mode browsers, like w3m and lynx (or graphical browsers with js disabled due to security or other reasons), and also "ramps up" to work well as "regular" SPAs?

Because that's one thing I've yet to see anyone really pull off: being able to define sane, simple components/widgets that also works reasonably without javascript (eg: the ability to render data as a table, and have click-able headings for sort that works both in lynx and without hitting the server in a modern js browser).

[ed: It certainly appears that http://www.ember-fastboot.com/docs/user-guide works well enough with js off, except for a couple of images not rendering.]
