Meteor is not necessarily a framework. But a hybrid system to build ontop of all in javascript. We get things out of the box and we build things we need to help further the community. Many of the packages weren't created by core dev but made by other smart people.

1. Joins? I always hear this one. Youre playing in the world of mongo. You can use very different architecture outlined by mongodb in their docs 2.youre right, for now, but SEO has been handle via spiderable, sitemaps etc. 3.theres a great i18n package so idk what you should say 4. Everyone does forms different, at Workpop we built our own forms framework cause it made sense for our business 5. Id love Chris Mather, who is brilliant, tell you about the power of Iron Router 6. Thats an honest opinion

Meteor is there. It allows you to build fast, build packages, and support future developers. Its a reason why we were able to build and scale our job platform. And we built what ziprecruiter took years to build in several months. For these reasons we raised 7.9 million dollars from Notable investors tha are willing to see that things will get better. If you can make a huge app in an imperfect environment, just imagine bow powerful it gets when it comes closer to ideal.

Anyway my 2 cents
