Anyone opinionated about Meteor vs MEAN?

[Kevin Ball]

Most of my JS to date has been on the front end, using Rails on the backend.  I'm looking at potentially moving some projects to an all-JS stack and looking at different frameworks.  Anyone used Meteor, MEAN, or both and have opinions about them?  Do share!

Thanks!

Kevin

Meteor's weird. It's neat until it's not and then it's just weird.

Haven't ever used a legit MEAN stack but have used all the tech at one point and would support it.

Hi Kevin,

I am working on my first real Node app right now using a MEAN stack. My
opinions are only based on my experience attempting mean.io and then
switching to mean.js over the last couple weeks.

I would not recommend mean.io or mean.js. Mean.io is poorly documented
and the file structure is somewhat confusing. Mean.js (a fork of
MEAN.io) mixes tabs and spaces and contains misspelled words and
incorrect documentation in comments.

If you insist on using one of them I would recommend mean.js (which is
what I'm currently using). It relies on existing tools (Yeoman and
Grunt) more heavily instead of using a custom CLI.

I'm considering rolling my own MEAN stack at this point, possibly
trading Angular for Ember while I'm at it. I have not used Meteor.

I'll be at the Hack Night tonight and can chat about my MEAN experiences
there.

I agree on Meteor being weird. I do have a friend working with it for multiple startups but the organization is left up to the developer and there is too much grey area between client and server.

Up until recently my go-to was a NEER stack (Node, Express, Ember & RethinkDB - also I totally just made this abbreviation up) but now would say Rails, Ember.

I have heard a lot of good stuff about Krakenjs for the server-side but haven't used it yet.
