Is this a parody? It must be right?

"Meteor is awesome! But after 3 years, it's starting to show it's age."

Edit: Reading more into it, this is just a starter kit and not a replacement for Meteor. You lose everything that made Meteor insanely popular, for what exactly? RethinkDB?

I think by "age", the author means the framework hasn't evolved to incorporate newer ideas that have become popular and proliferated the front-end world.

"You lose everything that made Meteor insanely popular, for what exactly? RethinkDB?"

- RethinkDB - React - GraphQL - Redux - Webpack - Node 5

There's react integration with Meteor. There's only 1 piece missing at rethinkdb to have rethink integration. Redux is possible. Webpack is possible. Node 5 is also being investigated, and not much is standing in the way.

Look, I get you want to play around with all the new toys for a hobby project. But no professional developer can afford the cost of getting burned by switching to a brand new framework and running into bugs. Meteor gives you the toys a little bit later (I know, web developers find 6 months to be an eternity), but at least you get them when they're proven and stable. Start developing real apps for real companies and you'll see the value of that.

Few sentence in the pages made me think the same.

Makes a point of Meteor's age and then proceeds to say that they're using 0.10 node with a bit about not upgrading anytime soon. Seems legit.

[ad1ttya]

He was complaining about meteor using node 0.10. This uses node 5.x

[VeilEm]

Oh I misread. That's a really good point and it's too late to edit my comment. Thank you.

Isn't that under their list of complaints about Meteor?
