(for those who don't know what I'm talking about: https://www.meteor.com/ )

Meteor is very "omakase" (opinionated) framework.

It's being developed as a "product" by funded start-up, unlike rails or django which were created to help build a product for a company, and relies on a lot of bleeding edge technologies (mongodb database for example).

It's also competing with products from companies with some really smart people (e.g. blaze vs react by facebok).

I haven't personally worked with any developers who have experience meteor. I was wondering where the communities opinion of the framework stands? Is it an overly ambitious technical experimentation, or the future of web development?
