As somebody who has built actual applications with both Ember and Angular, I think this article totally hits the nail right on the head.

Though, in regards to the "Angular is backed by Google" comment, while they don't actually "back Ember" in the same way Google "backs Angular", it seems that a ton of large companies are also invested in Ember (http://emberjs.com/ember-users/)!

And, I know the Ember folks are really proud of the community they've built as well. I theorize that Ember's lack of a single corporate backer is what has enabled its incredible community to flourish.

TravisCI used to use backbone. Didn't know they switched away.

Ghost also used Backbone beforehand, I think they'll be using Ember in their new Dashboard

I have heard Microsoft uses Angular as well, and I know VMware does.

I can see that point, I think that strengthens Ember's position in my view.

Ember strength comes from their vocal core developpers and the Ember marketing.
