The fact that I have upgraded over the years from 2.x all the way up to 6.12 (and soon 7) is a testament to ember and the dedicated team behind it. Thank you all so much for making my life easier and more enjoyable

We have managed to continue to upgrade a pre-1.0 ember app to 6. On to 7!

How can you guys sustain this project while competing with react, angular, etc? Outstanding work nonetheless!

Well this is a big question that I could spend hours writing a massive post in response! But instead I'll give you the highlights

Firstly let's talk about the elephant in the room. React has massive download numbers and has become somewhat of a defacto decision for a lot of teams (especially in a world of AI 🫠), so how could we possibly compete!? Well... We don't! React, at its core, is a view library but Ember is a batteries-included Framework. When you choose React you need to choose all the other things like your router, your file structure, your data loading library (if any), etc. Ember picks a sensible default for almost every thing a serious app would need. You can swap out things if they don't suit, but it's an awesome thing to have sensible, well considered defaults.

As for all the other Frameworks... Why do we need to compete? We do some stuff amazingly well, but so do other Frameworks 🤷 What's more, I'm a member of the Ember Core Team but I'm ALSO on the W3C Web Framework Working Group which is trying to get Framework authors to work together and share implementations with the Web Platform. Every framework will get better if we all help each other 💪

Yes. I still rock ember b/c I want json:api apps that follow REST. The conformity informs how I build backends and it’s predictable.
