I don't think anyone is missing the point at all. I fully understand what you're attempting to do because I tried to implement an Ember project only to have so many negatives pile up that it was actively working against our goals.

I really wanted to like Ember, but even with those issues aside, the two most common comments on out team about Ember were "Wait, why is that working?" and "I didn't change anything, why isn't it working now". Neither is something you should be hearing from your dev team.

You can do some pretty cool things pretty quickly, but there are more promises that resolves.
