I wrote my bachelor's thesis about meteor and I organized meteorjs Meetups in my city. I also worked professionally with meteor for over 5 years.

I was working with meteor bevor atmosphere and meteor packages even excited so yeah I think I know what I'm saying.

Looking big at the promises and the maintainers from mdg. They are working more on Apollo then on meteor.

Maybe meteor is not dead but it's on life support.

As of today I would not recommend anyone using neteorjs.

You've a solid background no doubt and I appreciate your enthusiasm for Meteor. And I'm even totally okay with your current stance on whether or not to recommend Meteor. But what does that have to do with stating proper facts? Tiny is the company behind Meteor; not MDG. And, while Meteor suffered a while of low attention by MDG; It's still going strong with active development and many plans for the future!

I don't want you to take personally and sorry if I have offended you, thanks.

No offense taken.

I was just burned to often by MeteorJS.

I hope tiny can fix some of the biggest problems of meteor.

For me the 2 top important would be

  • make meteor an npm package
  • make testing easier and faster on larger apps

Glad, we could find mutual ground.

make testing easier and faster on larger apps

They're working on improving the testing docs in the new roadmap.
