Is there a definitive angular versus react versus ember (or others) pros/cons/community status page out there somewhere?

You know what, these religious debates need a war to settle the question. Let's get 3 of the best teams for each stack, have them build the same 4 apps that cover a few of the most common scenarios... and let's see who's solution is done the fastest, is most maintainable, and has the best performance.

Emacs, of course.

Not definitive, but there are a lot of good comparisons:

I get the idea that it isn't really possible for a definitive one to exist, because all of the frameworks and their recommended accessories are changing so quickly.

Remember though, Angular is an (opinionated) framework, react is a lightweight library.

I wish people would just stop pointing this out. While technically true when people refer to React they're referring to the canonical stack that people use (i.e. + Redux).

I don't think that makes a difference. I can take a scalpel to my Redux code without really worrying about how it affects my React code.

This is why I use React + Redux with some Webpack magic -- everything is encapsulated and composable from the ground up.
