Maybe I missed it, I'm not the sharpest, but I don't quite understand what about meteor in particular made it easier or better than Sinatra + some frontend JS framework.
I'm in no way saying it's not, I just, from the article, didn't gather why the interviewee really thought it was better? Like what in particular is so much more awesome?

Don't get me wrong, you can certainly implement the same things with other tools, but Meteor already bundles a lot of building. We pretty much "watch" live data on the server and display it as it comes. Front end JS helps us do calculations and apply labels as we see fit. The best part, we just change the front end and Meteor takes care of watching and updating the data.
