Yes, we can :) Working around CORS is just a matter of server configuration. With the same API you only fix the servers, with different APIs you have to fix both the servers and the code.
Sure, if you control the server. I guess these Meteor packages will only be useful in those contexts. But what if I want to use the Twitter API, for example?
Everything about Meteor reads like a marketing article. How about: - It defines global variables. - The documentation is full of red warning messages and "this will be easier in the future" - The code is pretty unorganized and has some wild pieces in there. - do any of your friends use/heard of meteor?
It is faster to rewrite an app having written it once already, but still: it took half the time, had better user login/auth, and had sort-of real time multi-user support.
Meteor is very nice. Try it on a small project. The learning curve is easy.
The specific http issue is already solved by browserify. http://browserify.org/

Nitpick: does the term "isomorphic JavaScript" to describe JS that runs on both the client and server annoy anyone? Where's the isomorphism? When I think of isomorphism I think of two things that look different but have the same structure. If you had a set of functions that are synchronous and a set that are async, then maybe you can call the sets isomorphic. Or if you have a Python library that mimics a command line…
It's really just text and a few images, nothing fancy, an ordinary blog post - yet it freezes my browser for what feels like half a minute while it uses 100% CPU for rendering. What the fuck?!
Why do Meteor care so much about you starring them on Github?

We can only hope their new package system will contain something that allows the programmer to chose their own database. I want to use Couchbase and Elasticsearch. I can't see why any other document store couldn't do the same job as Mongo. Don't get me wrong, I'm ok with Mongo (but it's not for me) but can't we make at least some choice???
