I am curious how this submission keeps getting upvotes after a) it's a blatant product sell with no upside to the casual reader and b) it's been super-flagged such that it doesn't appear in the first few pages.

One of the things that turned me off Meteor was that although it is open source, almost all the third-party material is heavily commercialized and there are no good neutral resources for learning, which makes me not want to bother. (that, and no SQL support)

I think it's time to rethink the "give away everything for free" mentality. The people who made the first bet on it should be rewarded. I'm sure things will look different in 2-3 years. Also, Meteor is actually nice without SQL.
