AngularJS and Ember can be intimidating if you've never:

A) Built an API B) Used an MVC Framework (front or back end)

This can be easily overcome by following either a book like "AngularJS in Action" or spending some time using a framework on a small scale project.

At the end of the day, I've found that when using Angular, my code is much easier to read, maintain, and reason about. I used it for one project about a year ago, and just started another project with it last week - which was easy since I'd spent some time with it previously.

Never feel that you should be intimidated by a technology; but definitely be able to reason about its use cases and the value it may add to your toolbox.

I stuck with Angular because I tend to write larger applications, and Angular had shining recommendations from those using it in similar contexts.

I find these kinds of frameworks intimidating, because in them there is usually a ??magic?? phase that is difficult to debug if it does not work.
