Very much agree with you on this. I picked up a live Meteor app that felt very much like it had been built as a prototype that had been built upon into a production app. It was a mess, it had clearly evolved over time and over multiple Meteor releases, there was no obvious structure at all - just felt like a bunch of files that were all loaded into some soup that became the app.

I don't think Meteor ever had decent docs on going from the prototype stage to a fully fledged application and how you'd evolve the structure over the time.

I could name a lot of problems I've had with Meteor, and I definitely agree with having a proper evaluation of tech before using it - knowing the limits of the stack you choose and if it's going to lock you in in the long term.

It's felt like a framework that hasn't been given time needed recently to keep it up to date, improving docs etc as MDG have shifted their focus on Apollo.
