Still using it, and I would still choose it over many others for most use cases.

People get Meteor wrong. It's basically a sophisticated build tool that takes away a lot of the burden of setting up a working build setup. If you want, Meteor will also provide a robust account management system and a seamless connection between server and client and a few other niceties, such as reactivity out-of-the-box and most recently, my favorite feature, dynamic imports.

I also love Meteor's own package system which provides so much more than Npm-packages ever can. I'd also like to mention Blaze, which seems now pretty unmaintained, but it's actually very solid and stable and works brilliantly with Meteor, especially with the ViewModel-package (supports both React and Blaze).

Meteor is awesome and it's only getting better.

The only use cases I wouldn't pick Meteor for are the ones where static sites shine, for those I'd opt for Gatsby or Nuxt.
