Don't make Meteor sound like a toy, though, 'full stack' engineers worth their salt can do awesome things with it if they understand its inherent limitations. I ran Meteor with Redis before their official Redis implementation came out, and I used Redis pub/sub to sync in real-time between 8 different instances of Meteor in production. It rocked. Just because a framework comes out supporting only MongoDB doesn't mean you have to use MongoDB for everything. It's still on Node.js, and it still supports NPM packages, with some small caveats.
