I've had better experience with Angular, though some of the complaints apply to Angular too (e.g., silent errors in templates). Recently I started using Facebook's React framework, and so far it's worked well for me. You'll probably end up writing more code than you would in Angular/Ember, but that's because React is only a view framework (so it frees you up to use vanilla JavaScript for other things, like ajax, routing, etc.). React is also much faster than Angular because of its virtual DOM patching technique.

But my favorite part of React so far is that view logic is grouped together with the views. This goes against the "best practice" of separating views and logic, but I think it makes navigating the codebase easier. You want to learn everything about how some custom view widget works? It's all in one file, rather than spread across app/assets/javascripts/widget.js and app/views/widgets/widget.html.erb. No directory hopping needed to learn how the widget works.
