Use React and you get the best of both worlds. React supports server-side rendering.

Apps built with Angular or Ember have major issues with SEO. They'll have to resort to using something like PhantomJS to prerender their HTML. This is not a trivial bit of engineering.

Interesting ... By "supports server side rendering", do you mean react can bind to a chunk of preexisting HTML in the page to enhance it? Or running react on node and build a page? Got an example at hand?

You'll have to excuse me because I only did a cursory reading of the the following, but it seems to be a decent outline:

Thanks. Will give that a read.

Edit: Very interesting read liked from there ... https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/reactjs/eUespJPdyas/...

You can render react HTML components in node js without a headless browser, you cant do that with angular,so you can use react on the server.
