Sorry, I misunderstood earlier. What you said makes sense. I’ve had package specific issues a handful of times only. Maybe, I’m too conservative installing random packages. However, I tend to look at the popularity and star count before considering most packages. Anything less than popular, I start by looking at the issue tracker and code in some cases.

Are you still using Meteor? Is it phasing out?

Unfortunatelly the stars does not mean they work on windows 😀

I will not use Meteor ever again, is very proprietary, dependant on weird outdated packages and adds a thick layer of complexity that can be easily avoided.

It is very good for prototypes, proof of concepts and hackatons, after that it only gets worst.
