This post could well have been written by me as I am also in the same boat as you :-)

Anyways, I have chosen to stick to Django for backend( and Ember for frontend). My reasons mainly are the relative unsuitability and incompleteness of Node when compared to Django. If you are onto learning stuff, and not doing some serious (shippable) stuff, I'd say relish the beauty of JavaScript from both ends.

What made you choose Ember for frontend, versus Backbone or Angular?

I chose Ember mainly for its promise of supporting the creation of large, production level apps, through its robust architecture and well thought out library.

On the other hand, "AngularJS is a toolset for building the framework most suited to your application development." Both Angular and Backbone would have required me to learn other stuff for front end development, which I don't want to do right now.

I wanted a single cohesive framework which would be capable of handling all frontend aspects of a large app. Ember is made for that.

P.S Sorry for the late reply. I'm new to HN and didn't know old threads can be active.
