While I tend to agree from a personal perspective, however the Wekan project especially seems to be able to pump out lots of very nice features at a high rate, thanks to meteor. Additionally to this, we at Cloudron update the app package about twice a week due to that and so far had very little breakage or regressions, compared to other apps. We do not update meteor often though, which is maybe contributing to the stability.
Yes that helps but brings in other problems. For example many many security problems in the thousands of used npm packages of meteor and its dependencies.
Unfortunately thousands of dependencies is not unique to meteor, it is the hallmark of any popular npm package. So even react and vue would have too many dependencies.
