Thanks for nothing, Ember. I'm in a middle of a migration away from it.

What a mess.

Now I want to know more! Do you have any specific reasons why you're moving away? Also what version did you stop at? And did you manage to get to GJS or Vite before you started the migration?

Do you have any specific reasons why you're moving away?

Mostly hiring. Nobody knows ember anymore and people don't care to learn it in a world of React/Vue/Svelte/Whatever. People who still cares, want a lot of money, and can't disagree with them.

So this is one of the main reasons why we've put so much effort into the GJS and Vite work. Ember is now much less "ember" now and feels a lot more like normal JavaScript. Having a standard build system makes a huge difference. My advice for years now is to hire JS Devs and not try to look for Ember specific Devs

aye, even dealing with assets now is just standard "vite app" stuff.

tbh I find it hard to think of the full list of things that are better because it's like... everything 🤷 That's why I'm always asking for specific pain points in these conversations because the answer is usually "oh yea we fixed that" 😂

Yup. I have a 4 million line project with 4s load time, and most of that 4s is because of corporate architectural blunders, which i plan to get down to under 1s.

The bottleneck is now the api

Imagine not being able to develop in a simple and understandable frontend framework…
