I'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…

Exact same experience. Development is easy and frustration-free. The team listens to the community AND delivers. The platform is not just for playing around anymore, it has matured really well. See the case studies[1] - I, for example, love Hansoft X[2]. I think I would feel frustrated to have to go back to any other framework. Meteor is what web-development should be like. I'm not sure if Meteor is going to be THE p…
Same experience here as well. I don't think either that Meteor is going to become de facto platform for all web development, but it's definitely going to be one of the main ones along with Angular, React and Rails.
It's interesting also that people always talk about Rails but don't mention JSP and .NET, which I think are actually a lot more popular last time I looked around. I guess it depends on who you ask.
I feel like JavaScript is in a sweet spot right now because it has the inherent advantage of being the _only_ language you can run inside a browser, so you can do things with it that would be very hard or complicated in other languages.

I'll jump on when they have first-class support for a DB that isn't Mongo.
Been looking to supplement or replace Angular's $resource with something a little higher-level on CRUD-heavy applications. Is Meteor a reasonable choice, or am I misunderstanding it's core value proposition?
Is ES2015 the exact same thing as ES6?
I 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.
source?

I'd highly recommend this new project for Meteor+React+Webpack:

The only thing that I really disliked in Meteor was the reload/refresh for larger projects. This is typically a problem with anything Node related and refresh/reload times were around 10 seconds at its worst.
With the Webpack+React+Webpack, you get hot loading of only the module that has changed. Since much of the logic is on the client, your server code stays slim. Refresh times went from around 10 seconds to faster-than-I-can-notice.
Now if only there was a way to get hot module reloading working on the server...

I've been using Meteor for months. It's such a pleasure to work with. It's what Rails should've been if it was written today. They just keep on delivering on out-of-the-box functionality, compatibility with 3rd party libs, and more importantly - on a very solid architecture for real-time transport by guys who really know what they're doing. Kudos everyone.
