Frameworks come and go, it just so happens that Angular and Ember both came out at a similar time, and Angular narrowly got a bit of a better foothold initially, that compounded into a solid head of steam and growth.
I've been back and forth on the two of them, and I don't know that Angular is that much easier to test and debug, or is 'much' more mature, but their are more blogposts, SO questions, etc. because Angular is more popular.
Don't forget, Angular has the backing of Google, so things are probably going to move a bit faster.
Some people like Ember, there is nothing wrong with it. However, I'd suggest new projects go with Angular just because over the next few years, more developers will have experience with Angular than Ember (or likely even Backbone).
