Meteor's greatest win is JavaScript everywhere: client, server,
database. Our team is all de facto full-stack developers.
Adam Monsen - Head of Engineering
Meteor has allowed us to reduce code needed by 4-10x over conventional techniques. Thanks to the in browser replicated DB, client side code has greatly reduced complexity, is mostly free from locking and is very reactive to user input. This makes it much faster to port our existing legacy applications to the web. As and example, in our legacy program it takes on average 100-200 lines to query the db, serialize and transmit it to the client, then bind that data on the dropdown and then report back to the server the users choice. In Meteor, its <10 lines, a DB query for the content, and a db update for the users choice

Our original app, which was a hybrid app that only worked on iOS, took more than 15 months to build, was still not complete, and was buggy and difficult to maintain. The new app was built from scratch using Meteor in less than 6 months, has significantly more functionality than the original, supports Android & iOS and is much easier to maintain.
