Agreed; nothing in JS has hit the level of productivity I got with Meteor, and while its still going along, its pretty sad that it (or its ideas) didn't catch on.
They mistakenly tried to support every frontend under the sun and not even bother shipping a router with their fullstack framework. Crazy in hindsight!
If only they focus on React and included a default vetted router, Meteor would probably still be thriving today. Instead they tried to please everybody and ended up satisfying nobody.
MDG ultimately pivoted to Apollo and _that_ stuck like glue everywhere, so I am happy they ultimately found success.
I still miss Meteor though, it was so stupidly productive early on.
