Backbone is a library, not a full-fledged framework like Ember and Angular. I could see Ember and Angular being implemented with Backbone. Backbone isn't opinionated and makes no design decisions for you. It's also very low-level (no two-way binding).
Not really fair to compare them, they cover very different use cases.

I've been saying this for 2 years.. Backbone is a MVC meta-framework!
Ember and Angular are new now. Backbone was new two years ago. I'm guessing that's why.
