So they used Ember's templating language and did a crappy, more verbose reimplementation of Ember's subviews? Why did they choose Backbone over Ember, exactly?

Can I propose a corrolary to Greenspun's Tenth Rule?

"Any sufficiently complicated Backbone program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Ember.js"

[jashkenas → bascule]

Nice corollary. Sounds about as accurate as Greenspun's Tenth as well. In good fun, mind if I propose one back 'atcha?

"Inside of every Ember.js application is a leaner, meaner, far faster, built-with-less-headaches Backbone.js app trying to get out."
