What do you like best about Meteor?

One of the best part of meteor is it's modernity, on the tech side, it's using node with blaze for templating, mongo for the database. But the best part is the packages! There is a LOT of packages for meteor, for routing to editors, well, everything, you can also use NPM packages which is nice, even better, with meteor 1.3, they will work out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meteor?

A lot of people like the hot reload, and it's nice if the project is small or if you have a mac (it's fast on osx, don't know why). But on Linux it can be sometime really slow. An other problem is the poor support for Windows, and finally, the fact that the framework is young mean you can sometime have strange bugs

Also as a sysadmin, it's really easy to deploy meteor with meteor up!

For me the product will get better if enough time, and with the additions of new component like react for exemple, it's really ahead of is time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meteor:

You should really know about javascript before switching to node js Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Meteor solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do with meteor most of my client websites, I've done a lot of community website, some business presentation website and I'm currently even doing an e-commerce website.

I've also used meteor for an API (for an android app) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Meteor?

It's extremely easy to get started with Meteor, and required configuration is kept to a minimum. Everything you need is either built-in or easily installable with a simply command. You're free to organize your project however you like, as Meteor gathers together all code into a single bundle. There is a large amount of help available in the community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meteor?

The framework tends to be a bit monolithic, since it combines all code together. It's a relatively closed ecosystem (although the situation is improving with NPM support). Large applications can run slowly and get unwieldy to develop due to long build times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
