I'm working on an app now that started from a similar boilerplate. The React+Redux ecosystem is very exciting right now. Both of those libraries are brilliant in their elegance,and the ecosystem is a testament to that. On the other hand, the fact that apps end up being a stack of loosely integrated libraries can make the process of developing in the ecosystem rather overwhelming. It's hard to keep up with the progression of microlibraries and features. One thing's for sure though: it's a fun time to be a Web developer.

Along the same lines, I was making a web app with React and found that while the ability to be creative in putting together components is exciting, I'd like a more integrated stack I can reuse for other apps. While I haven't tried it out yet, it seems that Meteor is pretty close to what I think of as ideal, and the news that they are going to integrate React is great. (Now if only they announced native RDMBS support. Also, I care about server-side rendering and would have to double-check whether that's possible in Meteor.)

  They already integrated React in! SSR is possible with a few packages. RDBMS is where you got me :)

  DoneJS[1] a fully integrated solution that's still modular (you can use only parts of it if you want). It also has the most full-featured SSR solution of any framework out there (even goes as far as to include the correct CSS for a given page). [1] http://donejs.com/ http://donejs.com/

That's exactly why I first shared this boilerplate. I take care of keeping up and giving you the very best developer experience possible at the time, and you take care of writing great apps! v3[0] will make this seperation even more pronounced, with a new application structure that hides a lot of the magic and gets out of the way.
