Ember-tools: scaffolds, generators, and build tools (github.com)

This looks much more useful for trying out ember and understanding how it works than their "starter kit".

This is very similar to a project I attempted to create called Ember Boilerplate (never released), which was a play on Backbone Boilerplate (https://github.com/tbranyen/backbone-boilerplate) and (https://github.com/backbone-boilerplate/grunt-bbb). Mine failed to be released, because I don't think I addressed the concerns and needs of Ember developers.

Very glad someone who is entrenched in the Ember community could provide the same necessities and insight to the same problems I was able to fix for Backbone developers. Tools like Brunch and Yeoman attempt to accomodate all libraries, which is an admirable goal, but I feel like developers who write applications in a specific framework every day are more keen on providing necessary defaults.

Perhaps soon we'll have some agreed upon common ground: (CommonJS modules, template pre-compilation, image optimizations, source maps, etc.) and leave the scaffolding and defaults to specific projects that address the needs and desires for developers using those frameworks.

Wow - in addition to being useful, this is awesome as a learning tool!
