I like that it is open source, but the question is how well is it being maintained? Having said that one can self-maintain as I think it is NodeJS. That's what you'd have to do if you write your own Backend - so the only problem is how spaghetti like the code is.

It’s just Node.js. All of the Meteor-related code can be removed if you really wanted and just rely on the build system. Even if you had to do a port to a vanilla Node.js app, a large reasonably well-structured app might take a month or two tops to port.

Side note: frameworks don’t write spaghetti, developers do.

Oh I wasn't trying to say it is spaghetti because NodeJS :-). I was saying it might be spaghetti because thats how code sometime is.
