Yes! Ember is a really awesome framework, when coming from the likes of Django where there is a blessed version of everything you need (like a router, file layout, template language etc) it's really nice for those to all be included.

This post hits the nail on the head with Embers problems though, and it does seem like it's been left behind a bit in terms of using the latest and greatest tools. For example migration to Babel 6 from Babel 5 is only just finishing for the core components. get() and set() are also not so nice for newcomers.

As the post highlights this is mostly due to the projects age and baggage Ember carries. I see this as a positive though, Ember is pretty damn mature and well thought out, even if it's lacking in some syntactical sugar (and sometimes the latest and greatest in JS libraries/tools is such a fast moving target that it's just not possible to track it).

The future is looking bright for Ember! Well done!
