Is this a parody? It must be right? "Meteor is awesome! But after 3 years, it's starting to show it's age." Edit: Reading more into it, this is just a starter kit and not a replacement for Meteor. You lose everything that made Meteor insanely popular, for what exactly? RethinkDB?

Makes a point of Meteor's age and then proceeds to say that they're using 0.10 node with a bit about not upgrading anytime soon. Seems legit.

  say that they're using 0.10 node with a bit about not upgrading anytime soon Isn't that under their list of complaints about Meteor?

  He was complaining about meteor using node 0.10. This uses node 5.x

    Oh I misread. That's a really good point and it's too late to edit my comment. Thank you.

  There's react integration with Meteor. There's only 1 piece missing at rethinkdb to have rethink integration. Redux is possible. Webpack is possible. Node 5 is also being investigated, and not much is standing in the way. Look, I get you want to play around with all the new toys for a hobby project. But no professional developer can afford the cost of getting burned by switching to a brand new framework and running into bugs. Meteor gives you the toys a little bit later (I know, web developers find 6 months to be an eternity), but at least you get them when they're proven and stable. Start developing real apps for real companies and you'll see the value of that.

I think by "age", the author means the framework hasn't evolved to incorporate newer ideas that have become popular and proliferated the front-end world.
