This has been my feelings on meteor as well. It looked neat and I went through some of the tutorials and such, but really had no projects I could use it on. All my current projects interact with various sql database at some point. I realize that isn't as cool as all the nosql stuff, but I kept hoping they would get to it, and then kept getting disappointed.

It's a pretty narrow full stack to me if you don't have real support for sql databases. It's been sitting there for 3 years and has about the highest votes of all them. They had a post about experimental postgresql project in august(http://info.meteor.com/blog/an-early-look-at-sql-in-meteor), but it's mostly sat there with a few updates since then. It doesn't seem to be much of a priority.

Exactly this..

I can't imagine how many enterprise sales they're losing because of lack of SQL support

I couldn't agree more. One of the most expensive things we have to do on Meteor projects is constantly re-mapping the way we think about our data so it works in a noSQL paradigm.

If they were serious about the framework they'd drop everything they're doing and focus on getting some proper relational support happening ASAP.

See, when people see that, they miss the point a bit. The beauty of Mongo is it syngerzies extremely well with a pure javascript approach.

Getting fired also "syngerzies" well with a pure javascript approach.

That's an asinine statement.
