  Can anyone who has tried Ember and Angular on moderately sized apps (500-1k+ LOC) compare their experiences?

  I'm using Angular, I love how little code I have to write to make testable apps with their two-way binding, and dependency injection. I went from 0 to Todo App in about an hour after I started to learn Angular. Should I give Ember a try?

  I'm happy to see RC4. Ember has really come a long way since I started using it. Ember itself has really stabilized. I'm really looking forward to 1.0.

  There is one more thing I'd really like to see before hitting 1. https://github.com/tildeio/router.js/pull/19 is probably the most important thing happening right now. 1.0 will not be there until these problems are addressed. I hope to see the PR make it to 1.0.

  Scary breaking change though. Something that was called automatically before isn't anymore. I personally would have opted for a safer alternative to implement this breaking change. I guess it's a little detail in the grand scheme of ember thing, but for the poor developers who will have RC4 on prod, there could be some very sneaky bugs.

  That being said, happy to see ember getting closer to 1.0 Final, it's a beautifully designed framework.

  For those wanting to give it a quick try, you can easily fool around with a simplistic Ember.js app on Plunker: http://plnkr.co/edit/gist:5206526?p=preview

  I would love to see more of the Ember community on Plunker!
