It's a live and kicking :)
You'd think majority people of at HH can do basic objective research and look beyond the FUD, but it seems not. Well, let me give you some facts, over the last two years Meteor added support for:
- Out of the box dynamic import https://blog.meteor.com/dynamic-imports-in-meteor-1-5-c6130419c3cd https://blog.meteor.com/dynamic-imports-in-meteor-1-5-c61304...
- Importing NPM packages
- React, Vue, and Angular as view layers
- Latest release of Node JS: https://blog.meteor.com/announcing-meteor-1-6-abf30f29e2c6 https://blog.meteor.com/announcing-meteor-1-6-abf30f29e2c6
- Galaxy hosting just for Meteor apps, but you can also deploy anywhere using MUP: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mup https://www.npmjs.com/package/mup
- SSR: https://blog.meteor.com/meteor-platform-is-still-alive-5f6426644555 https://blog.meteor.com/meteor-platform-is-still-alive-5f642...
- Infinite out of the box reactive scaling using RedisOplog: https://github.com/cult-of-coders/redis-oplog https://github.com/cult-of-coders/redis-oplog
- Innovative data fetching using Grapher: https://github.com/cult-of-coders/grapher https://github.com/cult-of-coders/grapher
- Ability to start minimal apps without DDP or Blaze (here meteor is just used as build tool)
- Many popular and active open source packages such as vulcan js and rocket chat, and commercially successful business Qualia with 32 million funding

There has been major FUD since 2015 when Meteor pivoted out of Blaze (original view layer which has been open sourced) to open up to the rest of the ecosystem and some folks were not happy with that so they wrote few articles which shaped a lot of the FUD we read about here. It's a fact that today Meteor is way more flexible, you can use it as a full-stack, back end or build tool only, and you can pick which area of the stack you'd like to leverage.
It's very active and still, by the far, the most started Node JS framework on Github, it's very mature and stable and growing everyday.
