Meteor is great for beginners and is even more amazing for advance developers. Not too long ago, I started trying out Meteor. Here's what sold me on it:

Easy install process It literally takes two steps. See this post here.

Out of the box full stack framework Meteor is a full stack JavaScript framework, so it's both front-end and back-end framework integrated into one. This saved me the trouble of having to learn two separate frameworks, which slows down development.

Instant gratification Sophisticated apps could be written very quickly. My first app was written in a few hours from not knowing anything. I showed my friends and they were all very impressed. The folks at Meteor wants you to focus on the core development and abstracts things like dependency tracking for you. Check out these examples to see what I'm talking about.

Strong community support When you start doing Meteor you'll be joining a large community that also shares similar views on building web apps, which provides a lot of resources for you to get started. When I posted a question on Stackoverflow I got a response the next day.

Meteor will be the future The web standard is moving towards heavy emphasis on fast content rich apps that are interactive. To achieve this, utilizing client side seems like the best option, so get with the times.

From working with Meteor, I am sold on it and I will be using it for all my future projects. If you are creating a new app, here are four reasons why I think you should use Meteor.

Let's you focus on BUILDING your app Meteor is a full stack single language framework that takes care a lot of details that makes it more convenient to build web apps, such as client-server data synchronization, security, accounts, and package management. With these parts taken care of, developers can focus on the core code to their app.

It's open-source Meteor is under the MIT license, so what you build belongs to you.

Will be a necessary skill at cutting edge tech companies Based on my observations, I predict that many companies will utilize Meteor due to its benefits, making Meteor and JavaScript a valuable skill to have. Similarly this phenomenon occurred with Ruby on Rails. History repeats itself so plan ahead to secure your future employment (joking :P).

Supported by both the open-source community and private sector Without knowing the technical details about Meteor, it is clear Meteor has great potential. The project was the third most starred project on Github and Andreessen Horowitz has invested $11.2 million.
