The Ember app that I'm working on has about 20 controllers plus all the models, templates, etc. It's a few thousand LOC right now.

We use it because we don't actually serve (much) HTML. We server up basically an empty DOM and the Ember app uses Handlebars templates to generate the entire webpage as it pulls data from our REST API.

Akamai hosts all our Ember code + handlebars templates + css + images, so the client only hits our servers for the REST API.

I've done some Angular with a simple internal tool, but it didn't see possible (or at least very easy) to take a similar approach so we stuck with Ember.

I'm obviously misunderstanding something in your comment because that sounds exactly like how you'd build an app with Angular. Could you explain the issue in a little more detail.
