The title (which is not the title of the original article) makes it sound as if Meteor is not open source. Meteor is open source, and MIT-licensed at that.

There are many valid criticisms of Meteor. As someone who has submitted patches & signed their contributor agreement, I agree - Meteor's licensing terms are not an issue.

I started playing with this recently and so far I'm loving it. Here's a Vue.js component example I wrote that interacts (CRUD operations) with a Feathers message service over websockets: https://gist.github.com/niallobrien/7eb51d17c977c46babb8

Just wondering, how are you using ES2015 imports in the browser? Does Feathers come with a built-in module loader parser, or is this a feature of using Vue, or are you doing some other magic?

I think a much more interesting title would be "An alternative to Meteor supporting 15+ databases and 4 ORMs."

I'd imagine a lot of people (myself included) have cooled somewhat on Meteor as SQL support has failed to materialize, so Feather's DB flexibility seems like a standout feature.

The .vue files are compiled with webpack using vue-loader (and Babel).

Feathers doesn't assume much on the client. You can use a module loader or the bundled Feathers client which works right out of the box. To be able to use ES imports in the browser I personally use http://stealjs.com
