Is Ember really the right path forward? Or simply a stepping stone to a better (yet to be discovered) solution?
Specifically, I remember first picking up Rails and how productive I could be in that environment. I haven't felt the same happen with Ember. Instead it continues to feel like more work, as I have to build a client side domain model, as well as a server side model, and often have to think carefully where the logic should be placed.
Don't get me wrong, Ember is a step in the right direction, and there is a lot to love about it, but at the same time it feels like a local maximum and that there is a better paradigm to be discovered (Meteor perhaps?)
So, for those past the initial Ember hurdles, is Ember fulfilling its promises for you with your projects? Do you disagree with me and see Ember as the right long term approach for rich web applications?
