Is anyone still using meteor.js or planning on using it? Any advantages over just using node?

#2What're the reasons why it should be dead? Development is very active https://github.com/meteor/meteor/releases and roadmap are up-to-date https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/devel/Roadmap.md. What're your requirements? Meteor can solve your problems but can also be too much.

#3MDG has been focused pretty heavily on Apollo for quite some time. I’m not convinced Meteor has been shown much love. The package ecosystem has dramatically declined in quality over the last year.

Sure, it's being actively developed, but I haven't really heard of it being used in big production systems, which could indicate the community's interest has moved on.

Why do you have that feeling? https://www.meteor.com/ or https://www.meteor.com/showcase

That's because they've encouraged package developers to switch to NPM.

#9We've been doing doubletime to migrate off of an old Meteor app, due to its bundling of old versions of node and really questionable use of Mongo.
I think that, in the right hands, Meteor is a great prototyping tool--putting into production and scaling it though is a fool's errand.

#10Anecdotally, everyone I knew who tried it complained about lock-in (environment too prescriptive and has behavior you can't opt-out of) and no longer uses it.
There is development activity in the repo, but I would say the 'hype' has moved to other projects.
