Hands down Meteor. Many here write combinations of packages/libraries which has become the go to in JS community, but that is not a framework.
Meteor is an actual framework that gives you the option to use your favorite libraries for front end and in limited capacity elsewhere, but beside its customization options it is all interconnected and working well and takes away the biggest pains in web development, like build system, accounts system, bundling for legacy browsers, etc.
For me it is the "get things done" framework, where after initial selection of stack I don't have to worry about the technical side and can focus on building my app and with the additional goodies that Meteor provides there are many shortcuts like the Socialize packages that make it easy to build functionality known from social media like feeds, friending, messaging, comments, etc. and that are ready to scale-up with my app.
