#12I don't keep up with meteor, but I have a question for those who do keep up to date on changes. Can meteor apps be isomorphic -- in the sense that they render plain HTML on the server during first load, and then do the javascript loading thereafter? I work on several client websites, and passable SEO is a requirement. I know there's some hackery you can do to get single page apps to be indexed, but I prefer when it "…
It's not just useful for SEO; isomorphic React apps render much quicker on first load and for deep linking into your app.

#13I'm blown away by Meteor. Using Meteor and React is just buttery smooth.
More and more companies are using React now in the startup space, and it's one of the most popular services on StackShare: http://stackshare.io/meteor
React integration is a first-class citizen: http://sergiotapia.me/2015/09/18/react-and-meteor-match-made...
No weird hacks, lib includes and other nonsense you shouldn't really care about. And you can manage subscriptions to publications directly in your react components. It's magnificent.
If you were on the fence, now is a good time to jump in. It's easy to get started and you'll see that what took months in ASP.Net, and weeks in Rails, takes days or hours in Meteor. (No hyberbole)

#15I've recently been using Meteor on a couple small projects and so far like it quite a bit. My main frustration though is unit testing. While there's the official Velocity test runner, documentation and code examples for integrating and effectively using the frameworks is very confusing (I personally use Mocha). I know there's some books and blogs to help alleviate this, but there doesn't seem to be one (or even just a few) de-facto framework/setups to illustrate how to properly unit test Meteor apps.

#16Will there ever be 1st party relational database support?

Yeah, for a while we had to say ES2015/ES6 in all of our blog posts etc. but hopefully soon things can settle down. Especially when it gets to ES2016/ES7 and above, having the year in the name will be super convenient (like Ubuntu version numbers)

#18Will there ever be 1st party relational database support?
There's an experiment in progress here, written by Slava and myself (core devs at Meteor) over the course of a week: http://meteor-postgres.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
It suggests that there isn't really that much work to do to make a basic SQL integration story that people can use. At this point when this makes it into core is a matter of prioritization and not stretching ourselves too thin.

If I'm not mistaken every page on this site is React, rendered on the server: https://kadira.io/blog/

I'll jump on when they have first-class support for a DB that isn't Mongo.
