Comment on I like Meteor.js because I'm lazy

Totally acceptable to use Meteor first because you don't want to "reinvent the wheel" so to speak. It's fantastic for prototyping real-time concepts.

If your idea works, then you can "mature" your codebase a little. But, from the get-go, you'll want to make something usable, to see if your idea works at all. Meteor is perfect for that sort of thing.

If you build a working system with Meteor and then re-implement some or all of it, doesn't that mean you are in fact re-inventing the wheel?

Maybe it's more like custom-building a wheel to the exact specifications that you figured out when using a 'normal' wheel. Sometimes customization matters.
