Ember is so good, it does not need comparisons any more :)

Ember seems to have half as many downloads as Vue nowadays

Interactive histogram of daily downloads:

I would argue that it is by far the worst Framework one could possibly choose.

Can you explain why?

Composing components is not easy in ember. The component model in general is much less sophisticated than react or angular.

The just is FB added a clause that if you sue them and use their stuff, you immediately lose the license. So they could counter sue for breach of contract.

Damn it, iPhone. This comment should be above as to why React has licensing issues.

Ember doesn't have a PATENTS file.

If you have time, I'd like to learn more about why you have that opinion. Feel free to leave me a reply on the article.

Can you provide any source material to support this?

Can you provide a reason or 2?

One of the big reasons I avoid Ember is exactly this attitude. I have worked with people who, in a complete serious manner, think that Ember is so much better than everything else for everything. They won't STFU about it. It reminds me a lot of Rails bootcamp graduates.

Pretty interesting. I would have agreed with you a couple years ago. And I wanted to do a follow up on what I think was the most damaging issue with Ember back in 2012-2013. But you're hitting on a common topic I've heard quite frequently.

More than happy to hear more about it and get your general thoughts on the subject. Feel free to reach out.

People evangelize what works well and Ember works well. Hell, Rails works well. The thing about Ember though is that there' aren't code camps teaching it afaik.

Ember has been an "island of stability" in the front end craziness of the last 5 years. They've navigated the trends pretty well and have a complete and competitive offering.
