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.
