Q:

What are the typical use cases of MeteorJS? What are the essentials missing in Meteor.JS before it can be adopted into mainstream development?

Brief relevance of the question.
I am working on a project, which is my first tech start up. I found the framework very fascinating, but i am afraid that it would lead to troubles because of certain drawbacks that are not meeting my eye at the moment. I would appreciate the Stackoverflow community's perspective on it.
The Project i am planning will be function as a Question & Answer forum much like Quora or Stackoverflow for certain domain of professionals.

A:

Meteor is appropriate for almost anything - that part of your question is a bit broad, but I refer you to the Meteor Trello roadmap for features that still need to be developed.
That said, I think that if you can develop anything using Rails/PHP/whatever, you can make it in Meteor and in 1/10 the time.
