I can't believe this. Really. Meteor is a bunch of open source projects glued together with some of their own libraries. Their package system which is out of npm is completely arbitrary.

Why not funding other good projects? There's plenty of better framework/libraries that are massively used by the community.

I'm, myself, leading a little node.js framework open source project with similar concepts and I'd never accept to be funded. This isn't a project, there's no revenue opportunities there, it's a tool!

Tools help to develop projects which then make a revenue...

Some investors have very poor judgement.
