> Once a new Meteor user starts to go beyond the basics and look into things like routing, pagination, subscription caching & management, server-side rendering, or database joins, they realize that the difficulty curve quickly ramps up.

Routing? Really? I am not an expert but I think if routing, of all things, is hard in to do in your web framework, you most likely have a problem. That's requirement zero!



Yeah I don't get this part and it has nothing to do with Meteor, just that new users find it hard to do anything beyond Todos. But that also makes no sense. So it's hard for the user to not do something very simple? Maybe the user should take the time to learn what they don't understand.


Routing in Meteor is non-trivial if you want it to behave how a single-page app should behave. The defaults provide the bare minimum of usability and arguably worse than what we had with server-side rendering. It's exasperated by the fact that the routing libraries are not part of the core framework.


Its not even true either because there is the iron-router package. Yes it is not "core" meteor but it is a very popular package.
