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

This really lowers the barrier of entry. I'm eager to use it.

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!
