comparing angular to ember-data seems strange, no?

Well my reasoning is because angular have a so called model. It's scope.

Angular doesn't need a model, it's a MV whatever. Where as ember is MVC. The framework is MVC and it's M is not complete at all. So judging from an overall framework ember is not complete in that respect where as Angular is.

Like come on, 1.0 and hey our M in our MVC framework is incomplete. Um... that's shouldn't even be 1.0. 1.0 to them is the api is going to be stable but not the emberdata, the model. Really?

Ember.Object is the M in the Ember.js MVC framework. Ember Data is a library to synchronize a RESTful API with your models, without ever writing a line of networking or AJAX code.

Nobody is forcing you to use Ember Data. There's quite a few alternatives out there and you can even use $.ajax.

This is a very unfair comparison between a complete stable release of Angular and an alpha of Ember Data that even tells you it's extremely unstable and not production ready.

One of the problem is that the tutorial on the emberjs website makes use of ember-data and doesn't show you anything else. You have to dig a bit further to realize what exactly the distinction is and what you can use instead of ember-data. It doesn't really make it explicit (maybe on purpose) that ember and ember-data are distinct projects.
