About nine months ago, I tried Ember. I'm not a huge javascript guy, but I'm pretty good in Rails and have written a handful of javascript things. But anyway, I just couldn't get the stuff to work. All the tutorials, walkthroughs, getting started guides, git repos.... just tons of cryptic errors, strange behavior and terrible documentation. It seemed cool. I really wanted to like it.

But- I essentially got "the documentation is in the code" as an answer.

I don't know why Javascript programmers can't be bothered to return meaningful errors that actually hint at fixing the problem, especially when they are super common errors that everyone hits (such as the Handlebars version thing that was mentioned here).
