I've been programming for 18 weeks and recently wrote a client-side heavy app which uses a lot of jQuery and AJAX for the front end and Rails for the back end. For my next web app, I would like to use either Ember.js or Backbone.js but not too sure which incorporates better into a Rails app. I've read that Ember.js incorporates a philosophy much like Rails... convention over configuration where as Backbone.js leaves more to the imagination. Not only am I concern about which plays nicer in a Rails app, I would also like to hear from this community who are currently working as developers which seem to be more popular in the work place so that I can get a heads start on learning and using such framework. Thanks in advance.

I have been doing a lot of job searching and I rarely ever see ember.js being used in rails shops. I think(not sure) Jux.com uses rails/ember.js just because one of the developers recommended that I use ember.js for my project. – Daniel Sun Yang Feb 11 at 20:49

There's a good article on Smashing Magazine on this topic, which also takes care of other frameworks and MV*'s.

Another one's from Boris Smus.

And finally, Yehuda Katz (member of the core dev team of Ember.js) answered this question on Quora.
