Meteor isn't just another yeoman.
It's better to understand it as the cathedral to npm's bazaar. Everything down to the third-party packages is cohesive and never needs any wiring up or glue-code.
That's where the productivity gains come from.
- untog 11y agoSo, like a smaller bazaar compared to NPMs bazaar? With a more exclusive list of packages certified to work with each other?

- SomeCallMeTim 11y agoMeteor is emphatically NOT all-in-or-bust. It has a JavaScript framework (Blaze), but also works with Angular or React. It's tied to Mongo, but this release announcement is about loosening that bond.
- btown 11y agoTo be fair to the GP, this view-layer-independence is very new, only officially supported since summer. Very reasonable to see it as all-in looking any time before.
