I don’t work there, but was an early customer and have built apps from 1.x days.
The things that have improved:
1. Performance, performance, performance. It’s not fair, but anything that existed before react really was slow, because all JS dom updating was basically .innerHtml. Once we (as a JS community left that), everything has gotten faster (especially ember). Seehttps://madhatted.com/2016/11/30/5-things-to-know-about-embe...
2. Composability of components: being able to compose components together dynamically based and have a well defined boundary for colmunicating with the outside world is great. There is still some papercuts with the actual component API, but those are getting smoothed out.
3. Build-tooling/ecosystem. The amount and quality of tools keeps going up to accomplish tree shaking, AST parsing, etc. I just updated an ember app from 2.3 -> 3.0 and it took less than 2 hours to upgrade, test, deploy.
