Has it won? Where can I go and write `react-stack create my-new-project` and get a guaranteed working integration of the various elements that make up the stack, including a working server environment, pre-installed and configured database, and all of the other inbetweens that come with Meteor (such as DDP, livequery, Tracker, Blaze, ReactiveVar, etc)?

The "React" stack has certainly been an up and coming potential competitor for Meteor, but until Facebook or someone else actually shows signs of preparing the kind of integrated development experience that Meteor ships with out of the box, I don't think it's really similar. So that's what they're doing: tying together the best of the Javascript ecosystem, which happens to currently include a couple of projects by Facebook, into one cohesive whole that "just works".

Is "react-stack create my-new-project" really preferable to something like "git clone [e-mail]:react-stacks/react-firebase-template.git my-new-project" ?

I'm sold on the latter, since often enough I'll customize and publish my own tweaked templates as I become enamoured with different tech.

Agree. React is a library. Meteor could complement React as a framework much like angular.
