This is certainly the biggest reason. In the future maybe we can use ember-cli and integrate more with them.
Ember does a LOT of what I want recroom to be able to do, but I'm okay using something that works better right now over using bleeding edge Ember stuff that may be more idiomatic.
Of course, as more people contribute to and use recroom we'll evaluate changing out components. If I picked the wrong thing I hope people will correct it and make this thing better ^_^
Yeah you're right. The grunt piece is definitely one that is not set in stone. Ember-CLI is exciting and we've started working closely with the Ember folks to monitor it and see if and when this should become another piece of the recroom puzzle.
