summary
Recounts actually rewriting a huge part of a Rails app into Ember and rebuilding Gmail‑like interfaces so interactive features work; describes fighting upgrade wars between Ember versions with RFCs that document exact migration steps; shows the concrete tools and patterns used — models views controllers, state handling, params — and says state and params take days to master but the converted app runs; argues continuous small improvements beat rewrite revolutions and points to RFC‑driven backward compatibility as decisive.
