Honestly just personal experience as someone who's heavily in the more "cutting-edge" JS world. While Angular 1.x is still big, most new things are made with React. Mongo has gotten a ton of bad press over the last few years that it's hard to find positive things about it any more. This has more of an effect that you'd think. Express and Node are fine though. What I mean is that Rails, though older, is still much more popular than MEAN. Ironically my work place uses Express and Mongo, but React!
