I see that its using 'redux-router' which within the last few weeks is no longer the official binding between react router and redux. [0][1] Any plans to upgrade?
YMMV but for me React's good parts did not overcome the frustration of feeling like I was building on sand.
I don't mean to say React is unstable - React is great. It's just that the ecosystem and tooling is too ephemeral for me. Life this too short to worry about whether x, which I incorporated into by processes yesterday, will be supplanted by y tomorrow.
I'm playing with the server side rendering nowadays, and it is promising. It will be easy to use and nicely integrated with the whole ecosystem.
This blog post is not short, but you can get a view, what is the core team's plan for the next couple of weeks, and how the framework evolve further this year. http://emberjs.com/blog/2016/01/23/core-team-face-to-face-ja...
However, if you have a couple of level deep nested structure, nested components, React perform very badly. Probably Ember.js will never be the fastest framework on todo list performance test. However in complex application, it is fast, or maybe faster than any other solution. The Glimmer Engine 2 is on the way, will be released in a couple of weeks with backward compatibility. So if you built an Ember.js app before, it will enjoy this performance boost as well. And improving performance will never stop, so it is just getting better, meanwhile the developer happiness is on the top, thanks to Ember ecosystem, the add-ons, the Ember-CLI, etc...
In most of the projects the importance of the speed of rendering a tiny component is insignificant comparing to the speed of the network, or to the importance of the management of model/serialisers/adapters, or to dealing with app router/services, or to the importance of testing and deployment.
Ember.js project's main goal is providing a complex solution, where the developer has to focus only to ship a product, building features and release it. Ember achieved this goal more than a year ago, the whole framework is matured, more production and corporate ready than any other solution out there at the moment.
A great presentation about how intercom.io can ship fast thanks for Ember.js: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVwDuMGVhYY&sns=tw

I was once down-voted heavily on HN for saying the React ecosystem seems immature (this was about a year ago). A year later, it still seems like there's no consensus on how to build scalable apps with react.
redux-router is another project which solves the same problem. However, it's far more complex. Take a quick look at the code for this library—it's extremely minimal. redux-router is much bigger and more complex.
That said, redux-router is a fine project and has features this doesn't provide. Use it if you like it better.
