I get that this was written in quick response to the earlier post about AngularJS, but it would have been far more useful if it had actually drawn direct comparisons between the two frameworks.

I'm currently using AngularJS for a project, and loving it. Everything in this blog post looked like something with a close equivalent in Angular (data binding => data binding, components => directives, Handlebars Helpers => filters), so I didn't see any compelling reason to try Ember.

It is great to see competition in this space though! It seems that full-featured JS frameworks are progressing rapidly because of it.

There was a link posted in the other discussion (by visionscaper) that makes the direct comparisons that you suggested. Personally, that's also what I want to see in these types of blog posts.

Cage Match – Ember.js vs. AngularJS : http://vimeo.com/68215606

I still haven't had to pick one side, but this talk will certainly make me lean towards some framework. I just wish it was a 4-sided battle with Backbone.js and Knockout.js since those are the other 2 frameworks that are on my radar.

While the cage match was fun to watch I found it pretty one-sided. Tom Dale has awesome live stage skills and was better prepared.

While Ember and Angular seem to be pretty close in terms of functionality etc, Angular has recently gained a lot of momentum judging by Google Trends, blog posts and available 3rd party libraries (http://ngmodules.org/).

This might not be important for everyone, but when I could just plugin an Angular bootstrap model and stuff worked, I was happy and chose Angular.

I've recently started a project with angularjs and that "cage match" was incredibly fun to watch, we need more head-on stuff like this in webdev. :)

OT: What is the name of the editor the Angular guy is using?
