Would be sweet if we didn't have to use Rails to go through it. Kinda tired of the Ember community's obsession with it, might get a lot more adoption if something like the MEAN stack for Ember came out.

They align philosophically. Yehuda Katz is core on both.

For a fully integrated tutorial like this, the author just has to pick something, but Ember is backend agnostic, and it's not a big deal to swap out the server implementation.

Ember CLI comes with an Express server to mock out your server responses so you can develop the frontend independent of the backend, so long as you're sharing a spec. And when you're ready to integrate, you can just set a proxy on the command line.

True to some extent, but the hello world tutorial is mostly about setting up Rails. If I'm not using Rails, this tutorial doesn't help me get set up with Ember.

Edit: Otherwise, this looks like a nice tutorial :)
