Yeah, the magic rejiggering of names everywhere with no clear documentation of what mapped to what† killed my interest in Ember the first time I tried to actually use it for even a fairly simple app.

† Plus the enforced snakeCase/CamelCase everywhere, but that's more to do with me far preferring names_with_underscores in general.

That's a good generic overview but doesn't hit how the code handles the edge-cases.
This is one of the reasons that Ember.js + Rails seems like the preferred setup. Ember.js + Python gets you into converting underscored names to camelcase names.
Maybe to clear some confussion, snake case is exactly naming_things_with_underscores.
And SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE, one of my favourite names for a convention ever, is when snake case is in all caps ;)
