On: Comparing Ember and Angular

[nikon]

Been using Angular for 10+ months now, it's been a great ride and has saved 1000's of hours.

Feel like I should try out Ember over the weekend.

The HTML mustache style puts me off though I have to admit!

I haven't really used neither frameworks for anything but a few test project for myself, but I don't get the comment on "HTML mustache style".

The {{}} is in both frameworks. I hate it, because it doesn't go well with the template rendering in a lot of server side template languages.

It's just style. I currently prefer mustache, but used to prefer something much more similar to angular (PURE templates). One is not any better than the other, just takes some getting used to.

Sorry by style I meant the whole {{ bind-attr }} stuff. I think I read too much into it, you can do simple binding just like Angular e.g. {{ user.firstName }} it's just for HTML elements.

You can use emblemjs for HAML/JADE style templates.

Maybe, but were those 1000's of hours saved the ones where you should have been learning how to use JS, HTML and CSS?

I knew all three way before using Angular. Don't get it.

How can anyone do 10+ months of front-end web development without knowing all three (well)?

[protonfish → adamors]

I've seen it a lot. If they knew what they were doing it'd have been done in 3.

What would have been done in 3? What are you talking about?
