Why is Ember fading away?
In my mind, if you need a large framework that a whole team can use day in and day out, Ember is the go-to choice. It&#x27;s got a lot of batteries included and the learning curve is pretty steep, but it has patterns and a way to do things for just about everything. It&#x27;s also been rapidly absorbing  the best parts of other frameworks and approaches -- fastboot, glimmer, etc.<p>- Angular had the spot, then bumbled the transition from 1-&gt;2-&gt;5.<p>- Durandal died&#x2F;was transformed into Aurelia, whose hype never materialized.<p>- Backbone +&#x2F;- Marionette seems to be in super slow decline, but doesn&#x27;t update as fast as Ember.<p>- I don&#x27;t know much about Polymer but it just seems like an interesting project, not something I&#x27;d suggest an org to use (I&#x27;m probably wrong).<p>Ember shouldn&#x27;t be compared to tools like React&#x2F;Vue because it&#x27;s almost <i>never</i> just React&#x2F;Vue, and Ember itself has lots of plugins that come into play. &quot;React&quot; =~ React + React-Router + Redux&#x2F;Reflux&#x2F;Fluxxor&#x2F;Flux&#x2F;whatever, and roughly the same with Vue -- though you can choose to extend Ember with plugins, by default everything you need is baked in, with ONE set of well-written if not long documentation. I can certainly say that Ember is more coherently put together than react&#x2F;vue + react-router&#x2F;vue-router + redux&#x2F;vuex.<p>One of the biggest problems with ember of course, is the breakneck pace of change. I think it&#x27;s slowed down somewhat recently, but keeping up with it can feel like a full time job sometimes, if you get stuck behind for too long, it gets harder and harder to update your codebase.<p>As far as I&#x27;m concerned, Ember should keep doing what it&#x27;s doing, it&#x27;s basically the only worthwhile competitor these days in the most-batteries-included (aka frontend framework rather than frontend library) space. If anything these days, Angular (5?) is looking like it&#x27;s pivoted it&#x27;s way to essentially emulating Ember, so I&#x27;d place it second.
