This discussion is exactly why I'm drawn to Meteor. As someone who turns out prototypes and doesn't do full time web development, the overhead of researching all these options every time I try to do something is too much. The cost is that I might not always be using exactly the right thing, and that I'm stuck with Meteor's quirks. The pay off is that it always just waiting to go.
As an aside, I think it's notable what a barrier to entry all this is. If you want to try your hand at web app development the thicket of libraries is not a welcoming prospect...
- evo_9 12y agoI have to agree, I've played with all the 'big' JS frameworks during the past 2 years and only Meteor has 'stuck' for me. Part of it is that it's just so fast and easy to crank out something usable with minimal effort; I think this is largely because Meteor is unencumbered by any MVC requirements. It would take a lot for me to consider changing to something else at this point, Meteor is just so fast, easy and most importantly fun to develop apps in.
