setTimeout or Ember.run.later

[vikram-s-narayan]

According to the documentation - http://emberjs.com/api/classes/Ember.run.html#method_later,

it is recommended to use Ember.run.later rather than setTimeout.

So on page 217, should it be "Ember.run.later(function() { ..." instead of "setTimeout(function() { ..."?

Edit: I also see this thread where some concerns have been expressed about run.later - emberjs/ember.js#3008 (comment))

So ... maybe it is still better to use setTimeout?

Thanks again ... The book truly rocks!

That's exactly the issue I ran into when developing an Ember app (you can even see my comment) and I'm thus wary of using Ember.run.later. That said, I might try it again today to see if the situation has improved but the code snippet in the book is totally temporary and only serves demo purposes so I would leave it as it is in order to not having to explain another concept.
