No, but I'm also interested in this. I've been looking at Ember.js / Backbone.js / Angular.js for a new cross-platform mobile project and leaning towards Angular.

Some of my colleagues did some perf testing for mobile and found Angular.js was not suitable (I guess due to the compilation it does). I don't have any numbers unfortunately, but I think we use mostly Backbone for mobile projects here.

Thanks for the tip. Would be interested in stats. It's such a timesink to evaluate any of this new stuff. There's clearly a market for a tomshardware.com equivalent for frameworks and software stacks.

See my reply to welder above on the topic of Backbone.js. I had just finished a project using it before I came to this job and I was quite certain I didn't want to use Backbone.js again. I knew there were better solutions out there. The t-shirt thing was actually an experiment to try out AngularJS and see if it was good enough for our needs here.

I had meant to do the same with Ember.js as well but AngularJS did the job so well that I decided to just go with it. So possibly Ember.js is even better. I don't know. But I can say we haven't really regretted AngularJS yet.
