The action modifier is the original way events were handled in Ember. The new {{ opening_double_curly() }}on{{ closing_double_curly() }} modifier that was introduced this year to address some shortcomings of the action modifier such as being explicit, working consistently for all events, and works well in SSR.
One way the {{ opening_double_curly() }}on{{ closing_double_curly() }} modifier deviates from the action helper is that it will only be responsible for adding (and removing) event listeners using the addEventListener API. The action helper is still needed to bind context, see below.
