I think this blog post may provide some insight: https://medium.com/@sachagreif/an-open-letter-to-the-new-owners-of-met… Roughly: Meteor required too much vertical integration on each part of the stack to survive the strongly changing landscape at the time. On top of that, a lot of the teams focus shifted to Apollo (which at least from a commercial point of view seems to have been a good decision).

FWIW, Sacha posted a "sorry for the delay" post a while back: https://medium.com/@sachagreif/the-state-of-js-2017-results-preview-ac… Agreed on wanting it earlier, but the results are still super valuable.

Please read "What Kind of Logo Do You Get for $5? [0]" when considering this service. Though prices may differ, I wouldn't be surprised if the end result would be more or less the same. --- [0]: https://medium.com/@sachagreif/in-the-past-couple-years-startups-have-…

Relevant: my post about my experiences hiring logo designers on Fiverr from last week: https://medium.com/@sachagreif/in-the-past-couple-years-startups-have-… (HN thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8152631)

This link from the same site is on the front page of HN today: https://medium.com/@sachagreif/in-the-past-couple-years-startups-have-… It's a decent article and fairly interesting (though not surprising), but the layout is like navigating a minefield, it's still better than the multi-page layouts that are common on some sites. Try to print this article though, 17 pages. 17 pages. Their main business is offering content in a format that is readable and accessible to users. One solution would be to have an alternate layout with normal sized text, no giant header image, and thumbnails rather than half-page images, and that layout preference would be both saved in a cookie and settable via a URL parameter.

"In fairness, your question hardly reads as a question and much more like a halfhearted sigh from someone who hasn't given it much thought." the connotations are your own. :) the problems with Angular have been beaten to death and i didn't think i needed to include them to foster a conversation. i'm sure i'm not the only one surprised by the graph in the post [0]. even the article that OP links to- "The State of JavaScript: Front-End Frameworks" [1]- would beg the same question. if we take it's research seriously- more people want to learn React. less than half of surveyed Angular users say they would use it again. there is a discrepancy between that survey and Angular's popularity. i think my question is fair. i think dismissing it requires less thought than asking it. in any case, i didn't say that Google's involvement discredits it. quite the opposite really. a lot of people will admit it's the only reason they've taken it seriously.
