HI,
The UI is still based on SproutCore, there are many SC.xxx class and methods. They probably added a ton of things on top of it.
SproutCore is intended to build app like iCloud that are designed to look and feel like a desktop or iPad app instead of a web site or application. This fact is even present in the architecture and build process. You compile, build and deploy a Sproutcore app, you do not use SproutCore widget inside a web page. That app may or may not need a server to retrieve or save data. If it need a server, you need to design a protocol and build the server.
SproutCore is like GWT but instead of compiling Java class that mimics SWT into javascript, it is a native Javascript app framework. Cappuccino is another similar framework but it is uses Objective-C syntax and AppKit class names and method names. Those 3 are meant to be used in a all or nothing fashion.
On the opposite side, you have all the widget and DOM manipulation frameworks like jQuery, MOOTools, prototypes, etc. that are used to add some dynamism to web pages.
I do not exactly know where Ember.js sit, I think it is somewhere is the middle, at least it was the original intend when they forked from SproutCore.
I think they all fit different needs, I would not consider any as a one size fit all solution.
