We used Meteor for a long time as our primary stack at my current company. We just finalized the switch to React/Webpack + AWS Lambda/DynamoDB this week. The main motivator was that Meteor's big sell — the "zero-latency" data sync — wasn't enough to outweigh the overhead of having to keep up with the constantly shifting landscape of which libraries were now deprecated, which were suddenly "anti-patterns", which were suddenly insecure... That being said, I still prototype all new projects with Meteor. It's by far the fastest to go from 0 to 60, and it's extremely pleasant to ignore data transit and focus on the Big Ideas. tldr; Prototype things in Meteor because it's a great platform. Your production stack may or may not need the same things your prototype stack needs.
