I will admit that this is a rather opinionated framework. I'm kind of shooting for the apple philosophy - reduce flexibility for a lighter and more beautiful product. I've worked with a lot of compiled languages and for me, these are the cleanest and easiest to work with. I did try to build in a bit of flex though with the plugin interface and the fact that it compiles html, css, js, and ejs in addition out of the box.

I'm a happy user of Meteor. It has few opinions.

Meteor is not the same type of project as roots at all, so this comparison doesn't exactly make sense. Although meteor is an awesome project and in addition is backed by at least 3 people working on it full time : )
