Is this a parody? It must be right? "Meteor is awesome! But after 3 years, it's starting to show it's age." Edit: Reading more into it, this is just a starter kit and not a replacement for Meteor. You lose everything that made Meteor insanely popular, for what exactly? RethinkDB?

Makes a point of Meteor's age and then proceeds to say that they're using 0.10 node with a bit about not upgrading anytime soon. Seems legit.

Isn't that under their list of complaints about Meteor?

He was complaining about meteor using node 0.10. This uses node 5.x

As someone who works in JS day in day out, I'm becoming less and less sure the entire ecosystem isn't an elaborate parody.

Replacing one monolithic structure with another one because the component parts aren't right? Just skip the monolith part and use the components you want.

I like the idea of this; it's really what Meteor should be but they'd provide support/hosting/etc.

One thing I'm concerned with in general with stacks like this is their use in mobile stuff - even React+React Router+Redux+redux-form adds a fair bit to a payload, even before you start developing an app. As nice as it is to use, for mobile I roll my own.

> use the components you want

That's what he did. Anybody is free to use it or not...

I'm starting to think a part of the javascript fatigue is caused by people complaining.

JavaScript people have programming ADHD. "This system works fine, but we've been using it for too long, let's just rewrite it with the latest greatest" "Angular, let's rewrite that from scratch"

Imagine is Microsoft released a totally new version of C# every year, and stops supporting it.
