Man, Meteor was such a game changer, and I attribute that largely to the group of people who were part of the initial team. Outside of the founders, you had people like Emily Stark, Slava Kim, Alice Yu join the core group. After leaving Meteor, a lot of them went to work at Google and other prominent companies.
I mean, the project had everything. Exceptional people, great funding, and the framework itself provided superb user experience. I haven't been in the loop for many years, but I might have to put together a weekend project for nostalgias sake.
The general sentiment from the rest of the JS community when meteor was announced was - great, but why are they ignoring us? The original version of Meteor seemed to use its own tech for everything - I think it may have even had its own module system? Suffice to say it was a decade ago so my memory is hazy.

Yup that's covered in the article - that they should have used more of the ecosystem.
Definitely a bit of Asana culture leaking, IMO
