I also don't really get ember. I've currently been going through my experiences with angular (daemon.co.za/2014/03/wrong-to-be-afraid-of-angular/), but I just have grave misgivings about ember as a concept.
Backbone was interesting because of how little assumptions it makes of you.
Angular was interesting because it made some pretty reasonable base assumptions and then gave you this whole new sandbox to play in.
Ember just feels to me like the kind of framework that you are going to spend a lot of time trying to appease.
That might be an unfair assessment, but I am also not likely to ever build anything with it because I really loathe handlebars, and it doesn't do anything new or interesting enough for me to care.
