I'm confused about what sense Ember doesn't have data binding in HTML. How is this not data binding in HTML:
<div {{bindAttr class="highlighted:paid"}}>{{name}}</div>
I also find data-binding in HTML to be aesthetically pleasing. We use knockout, which has served us well but feels like we'd rather be an Angular.
What are you working on? I did a quick trawl of your history but didn't see any mention.
(this post is crazy to watch -- so many strong opinions!)
If you're like me, then you'd want to see some examples of craftsmanship to weigh the value of different opinions. Unfortunately, I can't provide links to these example works due to a very strict NDA (we did the work on behalf of a couple brand names, and ironically they wanted privacy). The projects definitely fell into the category of 'shit crud app' :)
Backbone was tiring for me and my partner with all the files and code to set up each view. I also never liked putting templates in script tags -- it just felt dirty. We see Ember and Angular as similar (how do you pick which language you like?), and we only picked one for atheistic reasons (data-binding in HTML) in our current project. Since I haven't written the same app in each framework, it would be unfair to comment further.
