Hi,

`ember-cli` by default generates `.jshintrc` and other config files. I noticed that Ember has also [`.jscsrc`](https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/blob/master/.jscsrc).

After reading [Principles of Writing Consistent, Idiomatic JavaScript](https://github.com/rwaldron/idiomatic.js) I thought that enforcing consistency would make me ‘forget’ about ‘reminders’ or ‘prompting’ to adhere to some rules on the project I’m working on.

[jscs presets](http://jscs.info/overview) list some popular configurations. My question is: is Ember code style preset suitable for ‘regular’ Ember project, or it is strictly for development?

If you were successful with other presets, let me know.

BTW. just found this:

I would suggest using ember-suave as your preset (but I’m biased 😃 ).

Thanks! Definitely the setup was faster (without copying libs from Ember.js custom rules) 😄
