I've used Meteor a lot over the last 4 years. Recently I had to start a new project and I wanted to move away from Meteor because clearly it has less traction lately.

I've considered a lot of things, but I couldn't find a setup as simple as Meteor with database integration. I ended up going back to Meteor and I'm very happy with it.

The tooling keeps getting better (recent 1.6 release), server-side rendering is almost there (already possible but no clear best practices yet), and scaling seems like it will be getting better soon (MongoDB upade + a path toward GraphQL with Apollo).

I had my doubts but I'm back on board. I recommend every JS developer give Meteor a good look.
