Hey, Ember.js maintainer here--

Luckily, providing a widget library is, and will always be, outside the scope of Ember.js. While we'd be quite pleased to see someone else develop a widget library on top of Ember, it's not something that we're personally interested in doing.

The goal of Ember.js is to roll up common patterns web developers are using into the framework so that they can write less boilerplate. In fact, part of the reason we renamed SproutCore 2.0 to Ember.js was to emphasize the point that our value proposition is in the architecture, not the library of controls.

As a veteran of the SproutCore project, keeping things lean and focused is my top priority. And, if it helps, we're all extremely allergic to anything that feels "enterprisey." :P
