I've been a little more impressed with Derby (http://derbyjs.com/ http://derbyjs.com/) than Meteor, as it's based on similar concepts, but plays well with the rest of the Node/JS ecosystem (for example, it uses npm), has server-side rendering of page content, and can scale to multiple servers. I have to admit my only hands-on experience so far has been a little tinkering, though. Who's actually written stuff with Meteor, Derby and/or similar frameworks, and what were your thoughts?

I've written a good number of Meteor sites/packages (including https://atmosphere.meteor.com/package/z-mongo-admin https://atmosphere.meteor.com/package/z-mongo-admin) and I'm in love. For a personal project, I switched midway from Flask/Backbone to Meteor and rebuilt everything from scratch within a few hours. It was very eye-opening not to have to worry about concurrency, re-rendering, and page refreshes. Admittedly, I haven't played around with Derby nearly as much (only went through a few tutorials), but the community behind Meteor is amazing.
