As an Angular developer, I use this tool to build both clientside as well as backend applications with ease using TypeScript features like decorators! It's super easy for me to integrate it in my existing JS projects since all my client side apps are written in Typescript/Angular2 already :) Sometimes meteor crashes randomly but that doesn't really bother you much if your app is small enough or not very critical (and don't try debugging too many things at once). And yes they should release more packages which will make their ecosystem even better than nodejs itself. Its great because its easily integrates into any javascript project without requiring additional libraries so there isn;t anything complicated about integrating them other then just adding one line of code per package required by our application.
