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?
Looks like JetBrains WebStorm http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/
