Ditto: so much about Meteor just makes the day-to-day work of building something a real pleasure compared to other tools.
For me, the thing really holding it back from more serious work is that I've had real problems getting testing to work well: Velocity[1] has had a bunch of problems for me.
I hope things like the focus on MongoDB and the lack of good automated testing tools are just because Meteor is still fairly immature. It could be a really good tool for a lot of use-cases.
The lack of a testing story for Meteor was what really stalled my side project with it. Since then, Velocity has become the official testing framework but I haven't gotten the chance to dig into it. I'm disappointed to hear you've had a bunch of problems with it, as I was hoping all my testing problems would be solved next time I returned to Meteor.
