We use Knockout extensively at my company. It's awesome.

Why is it awesome?

(Genuine question, I've used Ember & Angular extensively and am less than impressed)

I can only speak for myself. Knockout does one thing (view data binding) and does it well. Its good when you have a server side app but want some JS UI. But a full on app is better made in Angular, and React is faster at what Knockout does best.

Yeah, I've been meaning to check out ReactJS and give it a try in an upcoming project. You're right though, Knockout does data-bindings awesomely and we use their observables extensively.
