The appealing parts of Meteor is a built in security against common web insecurities.
The unappealing part of Meteor is having to learn Mongo. Ok, this part is just me being too comfortable with SQL relational table databases, and being too lazy to take the time to learn the alternatives.
- weego 12y agoThe most unappealing part about any framework that claims to get you 90% there is that the 10% left is always loads of painful bullshit trying to wedge what you need into a, usually overly opinionated, overly rigid "the framework way" pattern. Don't get me wrong, these things are fantastic for MVP/prototyping but nothing that claims to be one size fits all comes without hidden debt.
- notastartup 12y agoI agree with you 100%. This is why I began just vouching for micro-frameworks. Even that comes with hidden debt in the form of plugins or modules written by it's communities but it's a step above the 'write a shopping cart website in 5 minutes' type of framework. I'm very happy with Flask because it complete gets out of the way, it's up to you to deal with pesistence, models. You choose your own sins type of approach.
- BugBrother 12y agoI quite like MongoDB, it is worth learning. The main Mongo problem imho, is when you have feature creep -- if you find out later that you must have joins. Relational databases are more flexible with changing requirements.
