So... Meteor has templates? You could just as easily do:

    git clone git@a-react-template.github.com my-react-project
    cd my-react-project
    npm install

Meteor isn't just another yeoman.

It's better to understand it as the cathedral to npm's bazaar. Everything down to the third-party packages is cohesive and never needs any wiring up or glue-code.

That's where the productivity gains come from.

So, like a smaller bazaar compared to NPMs bazaar? With a more exclusive list of packages certified to work with each other?

Exactly whilst the chaotic bazaar is still available when you're in the mood for JS fatigue.

To each their own. I'll take the chaotic, decentralised bazaar over the monolithic cathedral. I've been burned by all in or bust platforms before.

Meteor is emphatically NOT all-in-or-bust.

It has a JavaScript framework (Blaze), but also works with Angular or React.

It's tied to Mongo, but this release announcement is about loosening that bond.

To be fair to the GP, this view-layer-independence is very new, only officially supported since summer. Very reasonable to see it as all-in looking any time before.
