I loved meteor. Was committed to it for 6/7 months while still learning JS (and working on ember and rails projects with others). I knew it was a risky decision, but it seemed like a good choice for making it as a one-man dev agency. For me, there's no stack selection problem, for me, the main problem is the co$t of launching a working demo-app or a prototype. The only thing i wanted was a simpler/cheaper way of deploying apps. I knew there was something coming, since the beginning i heard about galaxy, an MDG developed deploying solution, which i thought was the solution for all my problems. But then, then came the galaxy launch and its price ($495/mo). At that price I felt betrayed, misrepresented. (still waiting for the individual price several months after)

The big problem i see with meteor for the future, is that MDG has/will have to answer to its shareholders rather than its community.
