I did a little project with meteor in its early (pre 0.5) days. At some point internal errors I could not understand started cropping up. Nobody in the community at the time could help. In the end I wrote the app in go and angular. The idea of meteor seemed nice at the time but in practice it wasn't fun. The all in approach means you should also understand what goes on under the hood because when the engine fails and nobody knows why, you are stuck.
